I rarely see night rides on this forum. I am sure there are many who do.
I had too much energy the other night, so I grabbed a couple of lights and headed out. Outbound light on the helmet, a cat eye AMPP on the bars since it was available, my default see-me Ravemen light. On the rear: Varia 820 Radar, Knog Cobber Reflex light and helmet Cygo light. Very low traffic route. but the key was my new super Reflectoes reflective vest.

only a 30 minute ride up to Cañada College and back. 8 miles, 950ft elevation

Excellent! Night rides have a very special feel. If you have a reasonably safe place to do it, nothing quite like it.

For starters, the sensation of flying through space that I sometimes get on day rides is stronger and much more common at night. Then there's the feel of the evening air.

Most of my night rides are just 5-10 one-mile laps around my quiet neighborhood. Few cars then, but we have a lot of oblivious night strollers who apparently signed a pact to dress like ninjas.

With no sidewalks and little street lighting, they're usually meandering down the middle of our dark, narrow streets. A good bell and a headlight bright enough to pick them up well ahead are musts.

I have limited my night rides to short grocery shopping. While riding at night is fun (especially where I live: scarce traffic and a good infrastructure), I lost my appetite for night riding.

Gopro has been bought out by a military optical company called Starman Optical.

They have promised to support their camera base, but outside of the weird Mission series we probably wont see anymore gopro action cameras as we know them.
