Around here, anyway, I find bicycling at night better then other times, esp sunrise or sunset. The cars seem to give me more room. I think my rear blinkies and bright headlight help that cause. It doesn't seem to help as much as during the day. I [almost] always ride with the rear blinky on day or not and I think it also helps during the day, but not as much.
