Both times I didn't bring my bike from the east coast; but would have liked to have a bike to roam around. The only hassle for
me is the line coming back to the US; usually it's 3 hours.

Cool video, and very well done. Like a lot of videos however, it doesn't capture the true nature of the city. It is gritty and dirty, but much better, in terms of infrastructure than it was thirty years ago. My business travels also take me to Ensenada, an hour drive to the south. That is a much cleaner and more laid back town. I have been a frequent visitor since my godfather retired there (Rosarito) in 1968 (he passed away in 2005 at the age of 97) I have seen massive changes. Tijuana has become huge, with massive growing pains. The sleepy seaside village of Rosarito is now contiguous with Tijuana.
