In sunny southern California, my favorite time to ride is about an hour or two before the sun comes up. Yes, night riding is great at that time. As long as you have a good lighting system, and some reflective material on you it's very safe. Very little to no traffic of any kind (cars, cyclist, adults, kids, dogs....) at those hours. No need for bike paths then because the road is pretty much yours, except for an occasional car or runner. I always go with my riding partner, which is safer and motivates me to get out at that time. It is a very calm and peaceful time to ride, and I enjoy seeing the sunrise over the mountains. Also, what I like is by the time we start seeing other riders we've already burned-off 40+ miles, and we can do a long ride and it doesn't take the whole day. I don't like cars, but I like bike paths even less for many of the reasons already discussed. If anyone is unsatisfied with their riding environment, riding at this time will significantly improve it.
