I am going to get a ride into worker earlier in the day, bringing my bike in with me . I then am going to start earlier, and quit earlier to ride home!

Commuting to work. And then when it is too dark in the a.m., carpooling in with a coworker and riding home in the afternoon.
I'm not ready for shorter days!!

My short-daylight strategy revolves around two key components:
1. Lights. Lots of them. I've got a rechargeable uberbright LED headlight by Exposure, Hokey Spokes on the front wheel, and numerous red blinkies viewable from the rear.
2. Schedule. This is more due to my school schedule than anything else. I can't always afford to spend 2 full hours on bike commuting every day, but I can plan to spend 1 hour. So, I can ride to morning class and then to work afterwards in the midday. In the evening, I'll probably end up multi-mode commuting and using the bus time to get some schoolwork done. I certainly won't feel like I'm missing out on much, especially on those black rainy nights.

Well, I've just plunged myself into shorter days. I plan on making that rather bright, rather expensive light I forked out for earn its keep...
Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

I plan to bring my bike to work with me, and ride there after work, rather than driving the 30+ minutes home, and then riding. And after that, I plan to ride during lunch, at least for a few miles. And after that, I plan to ride on the trainer and catch up on some TV!

I invested in one of those spendy spin bikes. It's not like riding outside but in the winter I still ride everyday. it has helped my conditioning immensely. My work weeks don't allow for outside time. Kids in the morning and then to work and I get off at seven or so
