Thanks for the replies. I ride home sometimes between 10pm - midnight, about 7 miles. Just one street is quite dark and lonely. But in general I feel fairly safe with all my lights & reflectors. I also think it's kind of fun, being out in the quiet streets at night.

Voodoo, where are you commuting from? I see you live in Maynard. I would actually feel pretty safe commuting at night around here, if I had the right lights, etc.
Do you ride a Voodoo? I am using one as my "errand" bike. I love it. It's the bike I started riding on 7 years ago. Three road bikes later, I still enjoy getting out on it, although it's heavy.

It's often 10:30 or so on Mondays when I have singing after work (at the college). It's never been a problem... but I'm on streets tooling reasonably fast and not going through where people are hanging out - which would be more likely in the summer.
I avoid going through the U of I campus if it's a big game or big drinking night.
