It’s even better with the bicycle. The streets feel huge and liberating when there are no cars around to run you over.
Or going by public transit, there’s few people and those that are there are either just too tired to be a bother, or are asleep, and just relaxing.
I don’t get transit in the middle of the night :(
(And when I do it’s filled with drunk people)
idk, I wouldn’t ride a bicycle in a fog this thick, too easy to get killed if there happens to be a car. and at this hour the drivers that are on the road are probably like half-awake
see the great thing about a bike is that you can see and hear everything going on around you
I’ve biked in these conditions. you can tell the car is coming from far away.
COB LED strips are an absolute godsend, grab two 5v usb powered strips and weave them around your bike frame / your backpack/a high vis jacket, power it off a phone charger block, you can ride for hours without worrying about being seen because you and your bike have neons

One of these guys, for example.
If it needs to be waterproof you can thread the LEDs into silicone tube, seal the ends with a dab of bathroom sealant and put the powerbank in a strong ziplock bag
Recently I fucked up my sleep schedule and was awake at 5am, went for a walk. Enjoyed it so much that I’ve decided to start waking up at 5am intentionally from now on
(so far results are mixed)
I love 5am walks, not enough to voluntarily wake up that early, twilight walks are a magnificent substitute
Yeah, 5am is kind of weird, very blue. I like it quite a bit.
Eeeew no just thinking about going to the airport gives me a headache, that looks so calm.
Real calm before the storm situation there.
But if you do have to go to the airport, pre-dawn is the best time to do it. Try to find a flight that leaves early because the whole experience will be less insane
Shit looks like Silent Hill
“You promised you’d take me there again someday, but you never did.”

I’m looking for my wife Mary, have you seen her?
If only 5am was actually that quiet on the roads :'(
