There was no sound; the clips are made up of different days of his commute over a couple of weeks. As for "taking the lane" I rarely do, but then the routes I choose rarely have the risk of being doored. NZ has really wide roads, even in the cities, which the film does not do justice to so I don't see a lot of others taking the lane, as most drivers would think "WTF is that cyclist doing!?"

The journey itself is very familiar to anyone who regularly cycles in New Zealand - The land of the idiot driver. Very wide roads, (probably the same as the USA as they both have a similar car culture), poor road surfaces such as potholes which might be due to a lot of earthquake activity or more likely the lack of money to put into roads. Poor driving skills were everybody drives everywhere, if they could get away with it they would give the family dog a drivers license. Street lighting is abysmal also. I don't know why driving is so poor. People just don't get "cycling" here.
