Hi guys, newbie here... I've recently started commuting to my part time job which is really convenient, and I'm really hooked on it! The problem- I finish late at night, around 10.30pm, sometimes 11 at night. I take a path right next to a busy highway, so I'm always visible, but the problem is that the highway is at some point right next to a big plot of empty undeveloped land, and is pretty dark. No trees that some bogeyman can jump out from behind and catch you unaware, and that stretch doesn't last for more than 4 to 5 minutes tops. I can't say it feels unsafe, but I'm concerned as to how far I'm putting my safety at risk by biking home at night. I live in a country which has a very low crime rate (esp violent crime), but while I don't want to give up commuting to work, I don't want to become a statistic either. Any thoughts (or advice from other ladies who've had to cycle late at night for one reason or the other)?
