Try riding during the day and not at night time - that should do it.

Otherwise you might find that you need your lights all year round 💡

well, anywhere between 6.30 am and 7 pm, depends on the day and the madness at work

i have been doing this for years, but can never remember the times! whilst its dark i had better get through the woods for a last blast in the dark!

its always good to take them off the bike

Well if you're at the same latitude as London, it's like this :

Pink is sunset, blue sunrise, yellow sunshine, and grey night-time.

Although if you're riding in traffic, I wouldn't be in a hurry to ditch the Hi-Viz - I've been hit too many times by cars which haven't seen me in broad daylight. If you've got a half decent rear light, I would also keep that on for dull days.
