The Commute home

This is my first attempt at a video of my commute. This is the ride home from TSU to my home in Spring Branch. I must confess up front I'm no Joeybike..

Noticed on the second video that you filtered up on the right side of some cars at a light. Personally, I try to avoid this. You never know when right door might open. Also, it annoys cars when they have to pass you a second time.

Genrally when I do the roll up I have an eye on the cars to make sure there is no-one in the cars to pop a RH door.
