I really, really like riding empty dark roads at night.

That is all.
So do I, like it a lot.
Need to resist the urge of red light jumping at night though :rolleyes:

Indeed. I was talking with a colleague (who rides) about this today. Listening to him, it's like the roads are taken over by dragons at sunset.

Fiery ones at that.

No such scientific theory had occurred to me!!

I have ridden along cycle tracks in near pitch darkness before and believe me, I could have been going at 2 or 22 mph for as much as I knew, but if certainly felt more like 22!

I have also said to Pat, who responded with a mixture of concern and disbelief that I often like to switch my lights off in situations like that because I have found that, once I get my night vision, I can actually see a lot more than I would if I was relying on a narrow beam of light.
