I have a dynamo on my cargo bike (Tern/Xtracycle Cargo Node) and it's the best thing ever. I live on the 4th floor, and if I've forgotten my lights for my Clem (if I had to charge them) after I've gotten it out of my basement and brought it outside, etc. I then have to lock up, go back upstairs, etc.
And no, there's not an extra outlet in the shared basement for me to keep charged lights. Someday!
