You get a bus lane AND a bike lane? In Scotland the bike lane IS the bus lane.
I am another proponent of night cycling. I work long hours so in winter I pretty much only ride at night.
I love the lack of cars, even on normally busy roads and that sense of peace and inner calm you get when you are alone and focused on the task at hand.
