I ride to work at 10pm often and home at 4AM, yea it's dark. Sometimes I go out for night-riding on my days off as well. I prefer to stay off the city streets from about 1 AM to 3 AM however because that's when the bars close, and it's when the drunks hit the road.

Good point. I took my refelctors off when I got tires that had the reflective sidewalls. Guess I'll dig them out and put them back on.
