Sounds like a bill that will be a winner for a change.

What could the the down side be????

Rufio, they are going to extend day light savings time by 2 months. So rather than setting your clock back 1 hour in October, they are going to wait until the end of November to set the clocks back. This means more daylight = more sessions later in the season.

RufioSwashbuckle, I think it will extend the days of after-work riding for those who live where darkness is the limiting factor for that. For those for whom it gets too cold, I don't think it will make any difference. And if you're riding dawn-til-dusk on weekends, who cares what the clock says?

i'm all for that. When the time changes in the fall, it gets dark before 5 here. The sad thing, i can drive 45 minutes east and gain an hour. I would like to see it extended two months. Not only can i ride after work, but do things around the house too.

Love it!!! Once I start getting home from work at 5pm and it's already dark, I start to get depressed. There's nothing to do in the dark!!! So I hibernate all winterlong. Daylight savings rocks!! Very Happy

Indiana has the most f'd up time schedule ever. Lafayette (45 mins South) is on Eastern time, I'm on Central time. It's idiotic. I don't know how this will affect my part of the state, but I'm all for it if it means my electricity bill will be less!

If the U.S. does this and canada/mexico/the rest of the world does not, won't it sort of f up everything?

Jibsta, If we all ready do DST half of the year, what would the whole year do? Make airports in other countries set the New York and Los angeles etc. clocks back an hour. And for flights, we are just in a different time zone basically so it really wouldnt make a big difference.

I really hope they pass this. I have a hard time going through the winter with the lack of daylights and it's annoying.

The longer the better as long as the Snow season comes soon after
