Nightrider

One of the great things about having a bike is you can get around town after seven. Of course we have tuktuks, but they become lazier and more expensive every hour after six. And the songteaws (pick ups that ride around like buses) stop around six. But now I can ride around until the wee hours of the morning if I want to. At least I can go to the night markets or out for dinner without people giving us a ride.

The downside is that streetlights are rather dim here. And people drive around in cars and on bikes and bicycles without lights whatsoever. Then there's the usual stuff like people flinging doors open without looking, people driving on the wrong side of the road and so on. It gets interesting from time to time, but its very similar to riding a bicycle in Amsterdam. Just assume everybody driving is a drunk retard on the phone while changing a DVD that fell on the floor and you'll probably be alright.
