    Default How many of you ride your trikes/bike night time

    I'm sitting here think'n that very rarely, have I ridden my trike/bike during the evening (night time) So I'm wondering if I'm the only (or one of the few)that NEVER ride at night..............(no actual reason why I never ride it nightly)

    I don’t make a habit of it….But when I have to I will …I just have to be extra careful of the Woods Rats…🦌. They refused to cross at the designated crosswalks ..

    I definitely try to avoid riding at night. Between the potholes, branches, road debris and anything else that might be in the road it’s not worth it. Not to mention headlights in my eyes and one other thing,…there’s a helluva lot more drunks out at night than during the day when I have more reaction time to avoid them. There’s plenty of daylight during riding season.

    Very seldom do we ride at night for many of the reasons mentioned.

    Don't ride at night. A few years back a group of us would go on a dinner ride occasionally that had us coming home after dark. But we got too old to stay up that late.....

    I work nights and ride mine to work and back often. 125 miles round trip on the interstate, both ways in the dark due to my split shift hours. That's why mine is lit up like an airport. I usually don't have to deal with a lot of traffic either at the times I am traveling. It's always going the opposite direction. If I didn't ride it to work, I'd almost never get to ride. Adulting sucks.

    We don't purposely avoid riding at night, especially when riding in the local area. If we are out to dinner and it it is getting late it is no big deal. Last year we made a long, solo night run into the middle of Michigan after we got off the SS Badger car ferry. For those of you who are not aware, the middle of Michigan is pretty close to the dark side of the moon. It was threatening rain, street lights were few and far between and we pushed as hard as I felt comfortable with, much of the way 2 lane country roads. In the end, we missed the rain and arrived at our hotel with no problems of any kind. It wasn't fun, but if had to to do it again I would.
