I don't think I have ever motorpaced at night. I do draft off of cars in the daylight in certain situations, however.
i think my query was more along the lines of:
-use only one lane, or all lanes on a multi lane arterial to flow with traffic?
do your methods change between daytime and night? are you more cautious motorpacing traffic at night?
Yes, I'm more cautious at night, and I don't draft cars at night.
do you avoid riding alongside vehicles, even when not in an edge lane, to avoid merging and lane changing traffic that might not notice you?
Yes, I avoid riding alongside vehicles, day or night.
or do you accept the potential a driver might not recognize a bicycle right alongside their car prior to changing lanes?
do you 'charge' the traffic and use lane changes to advance on traffic, or stick it in one lane of traffic?
I KNOW how I ride it, just wondering what everyone else does.
I'm generally more conservative at night.
