I've only ridden here at night a few times and am not sure I'll feel safe. Given all these challenges, it might be hard to stay on the bike in the cold. I rode all through the winter last year, as I was living in NYC and we had no snow or ice that winter. Since I have no work commute now, my rides have been for pleasure and exercise which was also an adjustment. I have to schedule my rides. I should probably schedule them for early mornings now, but it's not very inviting to go out in the coldest hour of the day.
