Today was my first commute to work after my holiday. It was noticeably darker that just a couple weeks ago (I live in the other hemisphere and here, you could say, "winter is coming"), but still not that cold. Around the 9km mark we passed by a car accident that had happened and was causing a huge traffic jam (I ride on the bicycle path so it didn't affect my commute), which was probably 5km or so long, I was happy I was riding instead of driving today!

From now on most of my morning commute will be in darkness, which means ninja cyclists will be much more annoying.

If I leave work on time I'll do most of my ride with daylight, at least it was so last year when the government decided to perpetuate DST through the whole year, but this year DST will end in May so probably my afternoon ride will also be in the dark for a few months.
