I’m kind of a new kid on the block in reference to commuting. But I just love the challenge in my 12 mile-ish one way commute. I guess it’s the whole "thanking the wind" for making me stronger and what not. I do seam to have to keep convincing my self of this every time I hit the last hill before I arrive at work.

I did want to ask you more seasoned riders, what you think about night riding: I mean, after dark are there really any serious dangers other than our own navigational errors. And do you guys carry stuff like mace?
