r/NightCycling

Riding with no lights, just a seiko reflector at the back.

I lead a ride every full moon (when it's warm enough) on the gravel trails and roads around Fort Collins with the Fort Follies Cycling Club.

Yes that is a mountain bike destroyed into my commuter 😂

1 front, 1 rear, and 2 side 90 lumen red lights, coupled with 1 front 1400 lumen light, and 2 1100 lumen backup front lights for when I’m feeling frisky

Perfect conditions for a night ride!

Since my childhood I have done a lot of night riding which turned into all sorts of night activities (hiking, skiing, rock and ice climbing, full moon paddling).

Anyways, I'm actually faster and more comfortable in the dark. Here's are some photos from our two trips this year in New York's Adirondack Forest Preserve.

Need to learn how to put a capacitor in my homemade headlights

Anyone love Rails to Trails rides at night? You get the whole trail to yourself where I’m at.

I run this ride usually in the winter time for an after work ride. Usually it is only like 6pm in the winter.

Last night I needed a ride after a hard week at work and it was a Full Moon.
