Bike Safety - riding at night or alone on trails

[jahnin24f]

I agree! How great it feels riding upon the cool wind of the night and love doing it daily from our house to the beach and to nearby towns for about an hour but of course with lights on. Having one on one with the road, (sometimes I can make a one hour bike ride encountering cars that I can count on my fingers) I can even look up counting stars not bothering to be hit by a car at all!

I ride all winter but not daily. my rules are (which are subject to change) either dark or rainy, but not dark AND rainy. this time of year that reduces me to about 1 commute a week.
I have powerful lights on my bike and on my helmet.

I was pretty gung ho when i went out for a ride on Tuesday but haven't gone out again. However, I should be able to get some rides in over the weekend. Hopefully i can ride at least 2x during the week and during the weekend until November. I'm not sure if I will be able to brave the cold after that

I've been riding after work some on streets and some bike path, the bike path is a little desserted, but its still light. As it gets darker I will just ride on the road - theres a little bit of a bike lane. I have some lights, a Cygolite and just got a MagicShine, and a red blinky on the back, plus I wear 'killer yellow and 'reflective' clothing.
