Reading the responses in this thread make me laugh I've worked graveyards for about four years now. Night riding is an every day occurrence for me. It is an absolutely magical experience. I am always perplexed as to why I'm so alone out there at night. It's the best time to be out ridding. Cheers to you for discovering something truly special. The sensation of ridding down the main street of your city completely alone is unmatched.

It does come with its own unique dangers. There's a slightly higher rate of crime during dark hours, and of course there are lots of drunks. Compared with the dangers of heavy traffic though, I don't feel like it's any more hazardous than daytime ridding. Stay safe, well lit, and alert. And enjoy the solitude!
