I bet this time of year people forget the days are getting shorter, and
plan rides thinking it will still be light when their ride ends. Certainly
I've have experience with tennis teams scheduling matches at 6pm
this time of year, even though their courts have no lights. And I
see the soccer teams showing up for practice at 5pm, though I
know it's a bit dark to take headers by 6:30. I wonder if these
type of "no light" accidents are more common this time of year.
