    I just got back from a short night ride. I usually just go into the
    center of my small town and hop up the steps and try do 180s. It's
    right by the main set of traffic lights so you know when people drive
    up they are saying to themselves "WTF?!"

    I usually ride several nights a week from 1-3am because I get off work
    at 12:30am.

    well commuting in a city by night is not something special (though you
    need to be seen by short-sighted motorists).
    This far I have practised Muni by night only twice! but this is a real
    dream!
    Once was in Belgium : I did not have any light but knew the place very
    well and since I have a very good geographic memory I could ride : even
    unspotted roots on the path were fun.
    the other time was in England with a british friend: rain and good
    lighting system (from the other rider).
    I still not have decided on a lighting system to buy (since I do not
    ride often in the dark I will not buy an expensive one).

    edit : when I was younger I used to run by night in the woods with no
    light (it tells you how to run!)
    but my night vision was awesome (this is no longer the case)

    What time do you finish work mill*???*

    Cause if finish at something like 5pm like myself then you don't need
    to worry cause it will be dark within 2hrs or so. 😄

    I love night rides. It is so much cooler and a lot more calm. No cars
    zipping past or people staring for the most part. I went on a short one
    a couple nights ago around 1amish once my father fell asleep, it was
    awesome. I landed some soomth 180 rolling gaps.

    😄 It would be funny if you dress up as 1 and ride a unicycle with
    fluorescent green neons on it at night. 😄
