    when can i get my lights off the bike; riding home in the dark is a pain.

    also need to lose the yellow jacket!

    Try riding during the day and not at night time – that should do it.

    Otherwise you might find that you need your lights all year round 💡

    well, anywhere between 6.30 am and 7 pm, depends on the day and the madness at work

    i have been doing this for years, but can never remember the times! whilst its dark i had better get through the woods for a last blast in the dark!

    its always good to take them off the bike

    can never remember the times!

    Well if you're at the same latitude as London, it's like this :

    Pink is sunset, blue sunrise, yellow sunshine, and grey night-time.

    Although if you're riding in traffic, I wouldn't be in a hurry to ditch the Hi-Viz – I've been hit too many times by cars which haven't seen me in broad daylight. If you've got a half decent rear light, I would also keep that on for dull days.
