We have an annual midnight ride here that draws a couple thousand people that is a blast. People compete for the most creatively lit up bike and some look practically like christmas trees. In most places the street lights are bright enough that it doesn't seem that dark but at the end of the ride it goes through a park where there are no lights and you can't see your hand in front of your face. One year my batteries died on me in that park. That was exciting. I had to find some other cyclists with good lights and try to follow them out of the park.
