Wellp, road bike commuting season is definitely over, and it's slow bikes commutes from now until late February. I don't mind the cold weather, and I wouldn't even mind the dark that much - I've commuted in poor visibility before as a teenager. But the car drivers (and motorcyclists and even moped riders on the bike path) blinding me with their brights and causing me to nearly run off the path and either into a deep ditch or into traffic... they're making me die a thousand deaths during the evening commute. I can just about cope when I'm going slowly but I don't want to hurtle blindly to my death at 35 KPH. So it's time to keep the road bike in the garage except on weekends, and commute exclusively with the Koga again. Bleh.

Morning commute was still pleasant, though this is partly because I'm leaving for work a little later this week. Kids are on Fall break, so I don't have to get up at Evil O'Clock to make sure they're out of the house before me.
