Share you commute to work video #Shareyourcommute

There is a thread for sharing photos of our bicycles. What about sharing how does it look a regular daily commute (or a portion of it) on video?
I would love to see those little differences (or huge, maybe) in terms of infrastructure, traffic behavior/manners, and maybe showing off our cities a little? Just a regular day, like today. I'll start with mine, yersterday:
City: Bogota, Colombia
Altitude: 2.600m (8.530foot, 1.6 miles)
Distance: 6km (3.7mi)
Temperature: 17°C (62°F)
Average time: around 14 minutes
Best time: 11:48
Route: https://www.strava.com/activities/409426837#9826874014

I'd like to, but I don't have a good bracket for my phone, and I don't want to spend money and time on an action camera. I once took a five minute video of my commute by holding my phone up with my hand. It was very shaky, and it wasn't very representative of my 14-mile ride.

It is a good idea having a helmet/handlebar camera, it might capture videos to be used as an evidence for many scenarios. Mine is a Mobius, cost me around $60. Give it a thought.

I have thought about it seriously. It's bad enough that I have to bind my trouser cuffs, put a mirror on my glasses, wear the right shoes, put a helmet on, and possibly start my GPS tracking before I start a ride. There's a lot to be said for just jumping on and going. I do see the point of having evidence. I've seen the videos that make some citations become open-and-shut cases. But in the interest of jumping on and not stressing, I just hope I don't need such a video.

Heh. Yup. With my second daughter, I got smarter and got rid of most of the schlock. I ditched the changing table and used the floor. I put diapers and wipies into whatever bag I was carrying. I even used the stroller sparingly and just carried her. She started walking real distances sooner, perhaps as a result of that. Now that younger daughter is big and strong enough to carry me!

I have a video of my morning commute that I just haven't finished editing yet. I have it broken down into various clips with transitions, some of them time lapse and some regular clips, but I still want to add some annotation notes to it. Maybe some music? Not sure what I would put that's legal to use, and would fill up 10+ minutes.

Hey, thanks for sharing. I enjoy watching them.

I have neither the time, interest, nor the equipment to do such a thing at the moment. But that may change.

While I usually ride my own bike along Manhattan's Hudson River Greenway, sometimes I'll combine a subway trip with a Citi Bike trip up 8th Avenue. I took this video a couple of years ago, but the situation is very much the same today -- if not even worse.

Some time ago, I was the victim of a hit-and-run by a pickup truck driver. The video from my HD handlebar action camera immediately established that the pickup driver was at fault for the LEO and my claims adjuster(s). The insurance claim was worth tens of thousands of dollars. I encourage you to consider the medical costs and income loss in the unfortunate event of a collision.
