no glvoes in this cold is what suprises me, true soldier. i have done a few 30 miles commute round trips to my work. and dicing down 123 is the most petrifying thing.

Seriously bro, that is so rad!! :wink: I do think it's neat you can ride to work but definitely get your digs in on the drivers now. One of them is sure to kill you as you ignore every stop sign.

no gloves: was a "warm" day. under 40 i wear gloves plus balaclava.
stop signs: as you may have seen, i saw 1 car in the first half of the video. the intersections i "blew" through i typically stop at. with no leaves on the trees i can see FAR FAR FAR as i approach. never been beeped at or even had anything approaching a close call (and drivers will beep at anything that makes them blink). added years on my life: yeah, a 7 minute ride doesn't do much, but it does burn a few calories... better than nothing. i also run 5+ miles a day...

One of them is sure to kill you as you ignore every stop sign. thats absolutely tame compared to the cyclists in DC. Ive never seen a cyclist stop for a stoplight, stopsign, or anyone in a crosswalk. Lane splitting is common, as is riding wrong way down a one way street. One time a cyclist tried to yell at me because I wasnt giving him enough room while he was lane splitting.

You could argue you are adding years by not wasting 45mins each way driving to work (like me)

That's awesome Mike. I've never heard of that band before but I really like that song. First lyric seems fitting to a bike ride, "It's gonna take a little time" haha. I also find it impressive you can ride that far with only 1 hand. If your going to make that into a regular thing maybe find a way to mount the camera to a helmet or onto your shoulder or something?

I bet the producers egged him on to do a burnout or something, but I doubt he dropped it on purpose
