The streets are usually pretty well lit anyway, you&#8217;re more in-tune with your environment and it keeps your night vision intact. But it was the second time a female bike rider yelled at me for breaking the rules while riding here; the other time was after the NBR last weekend when I jumped a red light even though no cars were coming. The women are really vocal in this town apparently.<\/p>\n<p>So I guess I better find a bike store tomorrow or buy a light at Walmart before any more night rides.
