Since sunrise is getting later and later my morning commute is getting more and more directly into the sun. its mostly a road going east with some slight hills that pretty much put you even with the sun, which means drivers can't see diddly squat. I woke up too late to ride today and noticed there were quite a few spots where I just couldn't see anything, so i slowed to about 25mph and stuck my head out the window
and it worked. but i have a pretty clean windshield, i'd assume people with dirty windshields saw even less than me! is there a way to bike safely in these conditions? i'd hate to stop biking just because of sunrise. there is a bike path that goes most of the east/west direction, but that adds an extra 4 miles on to my commute.
