In the winter time I would either ride home early when it's still bright, or I would sit in the office until after dark, before I ride home.
I like riding at dawn/ dusk but I am also riding away from the sun so the people coming up behind me are not staring into the sun. either direction. What I find mind boggling is the people going the same direction as me, who pass me into the face of cars staring into the sun.
