I quite like riding on country lanes in the dark - provided my lights are good! Rechargeable Electron 10W/15W up front, good LEDs at the back. Far less traffic, and the cars that do come up tend to notice you better at night, all lit up as you are, than they do in daylight. Always the chance to see something caught in the beam of your light, whether it be an owl gliding silently overhead, a bat fluttering into view, a rabbit suddenly frozen in the glare of your lights. And on a clear night, stop at a dark spot, turn off your lights, wait a few minutes for your night-vision, and enjoy the stars above!
