When my wife worked at the hospital and had to be at work at 6, and my kids were really young and in bed by 8 or 9, the only time I had to ride during the week was at night. I would generally leave once my wife hit the bed which was about 10 pm, so I might be out for a couple of hours or sometimes more. One night I was about 10 miles from home, it was well after midnight, and I got a flat, no big deal, break out the kit, oh jebus...I left it on my work bench when I was working on the bike. I walked home versus deal with the rath of my wife. About 5 miles into my walk, a cop that I would see a lot rolled by, he gave me a ride home.

Later in life, when I was commuting into the office, my hours were typically 2 to generally 2...it was a suck job, but you do what you have to do. My commutes in was at 2 am took about 25 mins.
