Night rides are some of my favorite memories of cycling from about twenty years ago or so. I'd be over at a friend's place some five miles from home till three or four in the morning most weekends playing role playing games (you know, D&D and the like) and would ride home with my two D cell flashlight lashed to the handlebars for a headlight.
Now my friends are much further away, and we don't play anymore, but I could get back into night rides, or perhaps super early morning rides. It would be easier to dodge traffic on the highway.
