When walking my 1st gen Edeluxe powered by SON 20R up a steep hill (fixed gear, OK?) it flickers slightly and the light, while almost steady, is dimmer than at, say, 4 mph. You have to slow to a crawl for real, discontinuous flickering. 559X32mm wheels.

You can't go neither forwards nor backwards into your daddy's time nor your children's if you have them. In yourself right now is all the place you've got.
