Cycling at night

I had forgotten to get onions, tomatoes and potatoes (what was I thinking) so I had to make a second trip to the supermarket. I haven’t done any night cycling since I first got the Brompton. I mean choosing to wait until it is very late and then going out on the bike. This worked for me back then because I was still re-learning to ride and I felt it was safer to do it at night on quiet roads.

I took the Trek because I wanted a slow journey (still woozy from a Friday night out) and I had to get up the hills.

These are the Christmas lights outside the supermarket where inside customers were treated to a medley of Christmas songs. But I was listening to ‘Christmas Wrapping’ by The Waitresses on my iPod.
