Found myself riding in the dark for the first time for years yesterday. A surprisingly pleasant experience. You get more warning of vehicles behind you as you can see their lights coming. I felt very visible with my flashing lights and highly reflective (but black) clothing and much to my surprise the road surface didn't trouble me at all.
Now, I usually ride scanning the road surface in front for every imperfection, but you can't do this at night for obvious reasons. I always ride well out from the edge anyway but really my ride was smooth and bump free. I was on roads I know well, but even known nasty bits were untroubling. Do the local council put their potholes away at night?
