I just returned from teaching Poesy HTML-foo at her place on Commercial. Rather than taking a bus or the SkyTrain though, I decided to make all my travel arrangements today by bike: Home to work, to Posey's, to Home.

The reason that this commute is significant enough to post here however is not the means of transport or even the route, but the time of day. I just rode down the Sea Wall at midnight.

It's a very different experience at this time of night. Nearly no one is around at this hour, no kids, no dogs, no one playing volleyball or going for a jog -- just me, my bike and False Creek.

It was o so quiet.

I'd like to go again some time, maybe even with a friend, but next time I go, I shall have to invest in a new light. The one I have isn't built for illumination, but visibility... not so handy when you're on the sea wall and there's no light on that curb up ahead ;-)
