It'll sober you up pretty quick, too.
I've become a nighttime guy. I got back into cycling as a commuter but when my office moved increasing my one-way distance from 7 to 17 miles, the commute time just made that tough to do. So now I cage it to work, come home and do some dinner and spend some time with the wife, then set out on the bike, usually returning after she's in bed. She's a lot happier that way than for me to ride to work and delay her dinner. The nice thing is she actually told me she's okay with me riding virtually every night (she's a teacher and her evenings are usually filled with schoolwork). Anyway, I kinda like the quiet of the evening. Mostly a peaceful ride, even through the city.
