Ha, I didn't think about this, but I guess I did learn how nice relatively empty bike lanes and MUPs are. I wasn't dodging 1,000's of tourists walking or on rental bikes. Soon I will be fighting or trying to avoid tons of tourists on some of the bike paths and the golden gate bridge.

One other thing I learned, related to this, is I actually like riding in the dark. A primary reason for this is less bikes and pedestrians on my route. If I left late enough, sometimes less cars too.
