Why Do I Make Cycling Videos??

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Cool

Not a fan of the two-tone bar tape though.

To get more people to watch, to promote cycling, raise awareness and ultimately help other cyclist through charity.

I'm glad everyone obtained some enjoyment from watching and/or not watching the video.

So far the only ones I've liked were a few of the Vegan Cyclists videos.


Other than that, they're pretty boring. I filmed an entire crit with my Gopro and the only exciting thing was the wreck at the end when a guy fell and broke two bones in his neck (just off camera). The rest was 45 minutes of a bunch of guys riding close together around a track. The racing was fun but the video was boring and I have no talent to make it exciting.


Nobody else does either.
