I'm more concerned when I'm heading into the sun and cars behind might be blinded temporarily. I worry about this too, which is why I try to avoid riding when sunset coincides with rush hour. In CA I would go mountain biking late afternoon, bringing lights and returning just after sunset. Riding back in the dark was probably safer than riding west on PCH into the glaring sunset during rush hour. It's also neat to watch the sunset from the top of a mountain! Matt O. |

Riding back in the dark was probably safer than riding west on PCH into the glaring sunset during rush hour. I found myself in this situation during a long ride last fall, riding straight into the setting sun on a narrow rural road. I swallowed my pride and dignity, and switched to the left side of the road until the road turned north.
