Five-Thirty and...

I can imagine, I am fairly lucky that the rural part of my ride I arrive at when it is getting light, it is the low lying sun that worries me, when it is out.

low sun on wet road heading west - is there a worse combination on a rural or town ride?

Ambient lighting doesn't affect whether I own my own car or not

My commute is canal tow path 15 miles each way, no way am i doing the roads to work, way too busy mainly dual carriage beside it'd spoil my early morning weekend road rides, so light at 7am and not dark till 6pm is my criteria.

Sounds idyllic. As the days become lighter for longer I suspect dog walkers will become your main bone of contention?

I've not needed lights on the bike for weeks now ... unless it has been wet!!! Though I haven't got to the point of shedding layers - I love that feeling when you cycle with bare arms - bring on that first sunny spring day

To be fair, there are quite a few on the way home but generally a friendly bunch even stopping for a chat on occasions, its the special brew drinking chavs that are the problem.

I will start commuting when I can do the whole ride in the light both ways. I have figured out that this will be at the end of March. Oh and I'm only commuting when it's guaranteed to be dry.
