Not a bad idea!
I have not commuted there by bike before. However, I used to commute by bike to the university, and that commute involved riding through a canal on a single speed bike. It took about 45 minutes.
In addition to that, back in January 2010, I hitchhiked into a town in Utah, borrowed a bike, and rode it through town almost every day for 2 weeks. The weather was extremely cold. I live in a much milder climate, and I know what my body can handle.
Thanks for that tip.
So, what is it with this idea that I will get mugged if I ride my bicycle at night? It seems like a stretch to me. Not unrealistic, but definitely a stretch.
