Same. I'm doing more stuff in the early hours so more light is cool with me.
Drives me nuts though. I usually drive home super late once a week and NOBODY wears any kind of reflective or bright colors when they cross the road in this one busy neighborhood. No swinging flashlight, no white socks even. Nothing. It feels like an obstacle course some nights, maneuvering around fartknockers running across the road. Sometimes I see them first or the gal I ride with sees them and points the "shape" out of the darkness. Ugh.
Was just talking to someone about this the other day. It is AMAZING how many people will put their lives in jeopardy and make so little effort to protect themselves from danger. Same with people on bikes on our rural county roads. No shoulder, barely fit two cars, and they are biking on them for exercise.
About 30 minutes ago I almost killed someone on a bike with all dark clothes and no reflectors.

Those people need to go find a bike trail or get one in their house! I love those old railroad track trails that they convert to bike paths. Not sure if they do that in other states.
I get upset when I kill a frog with my car. I couldn't even imagine. It would be like Creepshow 2 coming to life. Only minus the taking off. And the fancy car. And dude hooker before it. And the bright yellow raincoat. And the sign. And the whole jaw hanging off. At least I don't think a jaw would be hanging off....
Ironically, they are on the roads adjacent to 80 miles of trails, but they prefer to ride on the asphalt.
