First commute after the time change...was dark, black dark, when I left the house just before 7am today. First time I have ridden this recumbent in the dark. I added another 'cheap' headlight on the left side of the handlebar, to look around the fairing and try and light the road but it doesn't show too much. Could just make out the fog line on the edge of the pavement as I headed north out of the neighborhood, but it quickly got lighter. By the time I got to work at 7:30 the sun was getting ready to rise... A good commute, 55 degrees, calm, and not too much traffic. Had ALL my lights on.
