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?
Hi Homestretch, welcome to TE!
Your question about night riding is a very good one- it has many aspects that are well worth discussing. You should start a new thread under this 'commuting' forum with that very question, and I bet you will get lots of interesting answers and good advice!
