[*BCM*] Question on bike lights

[Mars]

You'd be looking at two different types of generators. One basically 
rubs against the side of your tire to spin the 'dynamo', and the other 
resides inside your front hub. The basic one (that rubs against the 
tire) slows you down quite a bit more than the hub one, it wears down 
your tire, and it's not as efficient. The one that goes in the hub, 
however, is far more expensive and will basically require getting a new 
front wheel. The hub dynamo does provide much less resistance, and will 
be able to light your way much better.
