Cool. I like the music. Lyrics are appropriately timed where "you're leaving everybody behind".

I should try mounting my cam on my bike one day for my commute. At first I thought you were on a motocycle, then I saw you riding along the side of the traffic (which made me laugh pretty hard) and realized it was a bicycle.

It's not as bad as it looks. They could easily put a bike lane there or wide shoulder.

She was talking on her cell phone I guess that why she could not turn the blinker on either.

What I find interesting is the amount of trucks and SUV in the short 3 minutes.

Commute II

Here's a video of the commute when I have to go in early. Starts in the dark and ends in the light. Not much to see because there is not much traffic

Ran into this guy today. He bought the rig for $75. It's running a 450w motor on a 24 volt system. He was just using the trailer to see if it would work before he spent $100 on the small 12v batteries. He looked quite surprised when I turned around. He looked as if he thought I wanted to rumble. I was lucky, it was his maiden voyage which was a success.

Yes I can see really well I have lights all over. I was surprised that the video makes it look so stealth. I think it's because the camera points a pretty good way out.

I finally found a place in the area that had the right signal for me to offload some pictures for the forum, so here goes some of mine.

Ok, the first one is a truck that was in front of me at a light near my apartment, I just thought it was funny looking, that tube was the entire length of the trailer.



I'm not sure what this person was thinking making their car this color, they probably live at the house that's down the road from where this picture was taken that is painted the same color



You may have seen one of these in your town, but it's a US postal box that is shaped like R2D2. I found it on my way downtown one day.
