Riding in the dark

I didn't expect to work into the night yesterday, so I rode my bike to work. But still, I worked till 9:30.

It was all dark out there. There was no light in the next 200 feet. No moon either. I couldn't even see my own fingers, and I had to push my bike to avoid running into the trees and meadows.

As dark as it could be, I saw many fireflies. Plenty of stars too. It was not a bad idea to bike at night after all. I only need to buy a head light for my bike.
