Is it dark when you ride home
For me coming home in the dark from 630 or 730pm thru crazy rushing drivers is not an option
Sometime in March I will be commuting again on the beemerbike
For me, it's dark when I go to work but several hours of daylight are left when I head home unless something important is broken at the plant. Heavy traffic is something I don't experience in this area. The first 4 miles of my ride to work are mostly agricultural. After that it's a 4 lane divided highway doted with the flashing lights of school buses going through a mostly rural area. Deer, raccoons, possums and the occasional stray horse are the primary sources of morning excitement. In the afternoon on the 4 lane, impatient drivers anxious to get home are the biggest worry.
