Up here in Seattle, I get to see both sunrise and sunset during my
commute this time of year but it will be full dark both ways by the
Solstice. I don't think it's that bad but it depends on what kind of
roads you have to ride on. Very little of my ride is on major roads.
I don't do it every day, but about half the time I ride to work.
I wish it would rain now because it would raise the temperature in
the morning by 10 or 15 degrees...
