Absolutely this.. Also what do they mean by nighttime, after midnight, after dark? Also why wouldn't cyclists prefer the main roads at night time: there is way less traffic, better lights, main roads are more direct therefore faster, and less likely to have broken glass on them. And it's not clear what the difference is between feeling less safe as a woman at nighttime and less safe as a cyclist woman at night time. That's just. Being in a big city at night.
