Fuck yeah!

Past 1AM in TO you can ride on major arteries without see a car for minutes. Faster and safer than any other time of day.

I used to ride down on Dundas, Dupont and St Clair W from the Junction to Y&E every night between 3-6AM for work. It was amazing during warm summer nights.

Ohh yes, chill wind, no deadly laser from outerspace so no need for sunblock. Though i only ride in my residential area so no need for high lumen light, i just need to be visible by others.

The proper way to handle ghosts is to find a nice castle for them

I like it, but I think it’s dangerous because of crazy car drivers. So if I do it, I stick to small residential roads.

My experience is the opposite. The hours 3-6 feel more dangerous to me because many drivers are in a rush and very uncourteous. At night there are just way less cars on the road and in general they are much more courteous. However I generally don’t ride light enough for them to suffer from very bad sleep deprivation.
