Can I replace my bikelight dynamo with a battery?

I only want to change the power source, not the setup! I don't want to buy those clip-on bike lights. I like the old style look of my bike and want to keep it that way! Any ideas?

Answer
I put together a rechargeable set-up 15 years ago, before good clip-ons became available. The lamp was 6V, so I got a hobby store to put together some 6V battery packs (like the ones used to power remote control cars). I used the same connection clips as are used in the toy cars - from memory these gave one or two problems but were very easy to fix. I'd still be using it if my headlight hadn't developed a mystery blackout problem that was most easily solved by replacing it with a clip-on system. If you're anywhere near Melbourne, Australia and want my batteries and charger (and/or a Union headlight with a mystery blackout problem), drop me a line.

Are any BBC fans aware of a tour in 2011?? and where theyre going??

Im a MASSIVE fan, and i promised my friend i would take her to one of their concerts, do you know when are where theyre playing??

THANK YOOOUU :)

Answer
Well a few NME issues ago they revealed they are working on a third album, electric like the first one, so a new album usually means new tour.

Basically I'd they they're definitely touring this year. But dates probably won't be revealed until the new album is released.
Hope I helped :)

having driving lights on during the day in Netherlands?

Johnblue

is it law in the Netherlands to have you light on in a car, truck and other vehicles on during the day all year around and if so what is the thinking behind it

Answer
According to the law you have to put your light on during the day if necessary. WILL USE DIMMED LIGHTS DURING THE DAY WHERE VISIBILITY IS SERIOUSLY RESTRICTED, AND AT NIGHT.

You can find the whole article on the site of the Dutch ministry of infrastructure and environment:

http://www.ministryofinfrastructureandtheenvironment.nl/topics/road_traffic_safety/index.aspx

scroll down and click on
road traffic signs and regulations 2011

It will download the regulations.
On page 26 you find the next information:

2.13 Using lights while driving
Article 32
