Got my new bike (Raleigh Capri 2.0) today, and it also finally stopped raining so I actually got to ride in. Reading some of your accounts, I'm very glad I am commuting at 10-11PM, particularly since I've been taking roads without bike lanes. It's no problem when you only see another car every couple of minutes, and there's plenty of room for them to pass. Also saw lots of rabbits.
