(for the majority) Tomorrow night is going to be the last time you'll cycle home in daylight until March.

if you work part time... been in the dark for at least the last week

start at 8 (sometimes 7:30) finish at 4:00 which means I'm on the bike at 4:15, and home for 5 ish



I was up at JOG back in September and apparently in the Summer it doesn't get fully dark until gone 2AM up there! :shock: It was still well bright gone 10:30 but I was too knackered to wait and see when it got dark.

How would that work? One or the other, maybe, but not both.

More daylight hours... less lighting if it's still light outside.

More daylight hours that we're awake to see?

Indeed:

Think how many more people are up at 6:30pm, compared to 5:30am, both equidistant from 12-noon, whatever that is relative to the sun position.

There is a reason why double summer time was set up during World War II.
