You're a hoot, kenyonchris.

My new front light is the kind with a wire to a separate battery pack. The battery pack attaches to a standard cyclocomputer type mount, supplied on a separate velcro band.

I spent quite some time, getting quite annoyed, trying to figure out where on my handlebars I had room to attach this velcro banded battery pack,what with a short stem and a bell, a spare blinkie, and my (empty) computer bracket which was really in the way.

Until it dawned on me that I could actually... remove ...the velcro band and attach the battery directly into the computer mount... which was sort of the whole point.
