It was dark (but not that dark, and I have a 500 lumen front light), I didn't see a black gate in front of me. Hoke was riding in front of me and he double-spok-skidded to brake and circumvent the gate. Instead of thinking 'I wonder why he is skidding, perhaps there is an obstacle ahead,' I thought, 'Sick skid brah,' and then proceded to cycle into the gate. Worn cleats inadvertently caused me to unclip and go over the gate. Later that day I ate carrots (they contain vitamin A/retinol which produces the pigment rhodopsin) to improve my night vision.
