@ascentale @cpm @bikenite A7. I live in a rural area. I will not ride after dark, except for #24HoursOfBooty which is a protected route with no cars and police protection. There's just no way to do it safely here.
@cpm asks about "Wear Bright Clothes!"
Around here, there have been two severe cyclist:driver collisions after dark along a particularly noxious reach of stroad recently.
Lots of soc media chatter, and >90% heavily in the victim blame camp.
Q7. How is this possible when "bright" winter garments don't really exist?
(And how do we change the framing and conversation?)

@ascentale @geonz @bikenite A4. I am registered for 2 events so far- #RaceForTheCure in April (just a 5K run) and #24HoursOfBooty in Charlotte. I'd like to aim for at least a century ride, but weather will determine that (last year in a record heat wave I managed 70). I hope for another #BikeVirginia event but if not I'll be looking for another tour experience. Also I'd like for @crescent_latte and I to ride rhe Virginia Creeper Trail (the part that still exists anyway). #bikenite
@geonz asks:
Q4. Do you have any speculations on next year? Goals, hopes, *whatever*

@ascentale @bikenite A2. I've had so many wonderful experiences on tours such as #BikeVirginia, and major pride and fun doing #24HoursOfBooty events. I'm particularly proud that I'm back and did both this year. #bikenite
There's probably less #BikeNite activity due to the holidays, so I am adding backup questions thought up over the weeks:
Q2. Can you share a joyful moment spent cycling? What made it so?
