Don't forget us! I think they moved DST up two weeks.

Awesome job! What a great network of bike trails. Some looked narrow but I assume the wide angle camera was to blame. And the train bypass scene brought me to my feet with fists in the air and a hearty cheer of "Bah-bye lemmings"! One more green light and you would have never seen those trapped cars again.
Welcome to the video club. Thanks!

Mr. Hairy Legs, I wish I had your commute. Here's my morning winter route. Only 2 miles or so, but all the MUPs I use in the summer are snowmobile trails now.

No, it's pretty much all downhill. Two "Cat 5" climbs according to mapmyride.com, but it's more of a climb coming home, of course. Winter is fun so far, and the changing conditions keep me on my toes, or on my bike hopefully.

There is no way I would commute where most of you guys do especially the New York and Snow stuff. My route is 12 miles but there is only three stop signs and one redlight and mostly country roads. Maybe I will get my GoPro soon and put you guys to sleep.

Sometimes I wonder myself if I'm close to going crazy 
In this video a ped walks into traffic, hidden by a postal truck, 6:10.

I think you're taking to many risks out there. Slow down!
I know many of those streets and it's unfortunate you have to take Path back to Jersey. I wish New York WaterWay was less expensive because Path is horrible during the morning rush hour. I'm surprised you get up that early to boad Path because after a certain hour, no bikes are allowed. Then again, you already know that!

Here is the first half of my commute in Toowoomba, Australia. Those cheap cameras really chew through the batteries .
Where I live riding on the footpath is legal...

Urban 550 from Light & Motion. I quite like it.

For on bike shots I prefer the shape of the Contour, much easier to mount on different
places on the bike just using strips from an old inner tube:

I also have a compact/point and shoot camera, Fujifilm XP50 that I use freehand, no mounts.

I've posted this before. It's probably about 75% commuting as there's some stuff from a ride out in the countryside edited in as well.
