Ouch – GWS!

There is good and bad where riding at night is concerned;
I have had a few badgers scare the s**t out of me, I have bent a few rims on potholes, the drunken idiots think (know?) you are fair game ~X( I even hit a frozen chicken once :/
But, the roads are more quiet, riding on a still night with the smells of ‘the country’ is pretty special (for me) #o .
