I appreciate you taking the time to write back! I have to admit, I'm closer to the other end of the spectrum.

Here's an important point I want you to consider. If we did NOT "fall back," the latest it would get dark here on the east coast would be 5pm. That means that for winter cyclists getting out of work at 5pm, they would have time most winter days to cycle after work in at least some "civil twilight." I think that's a huge advantage of using Daylight Time as opposed to standard time.
