In fact the worst time it ride is around sunrise or sunset, since lights are washed out, you blend into the surroundings, and the sun is in people's eyes.
If you have GOOD lighting, riding at night is great. The lights are easily seen, and I have found that drivers will actually give you more space at night.
Totally agree. Sunrise and sunset scare me the most. Once it's dark, I'm lit up like a Christmas tree with all of my reflective gear.
