thanks my friend , this is the most relaxing video i've seen while using go pro , others mounted it to their helmet which you can't focus to the environment -_-'
great, thank you for introducing Bucharest. I intend to go to Bucharest with bicycle next year (also to transfagarasan), so I'm exploring Romania on internet now. Thank you I'vo learned so much from your video.
Great video and good job demonstrating the GoPro. I'm a serious amateur cyclist and I was wondering, does the camera mount secure well? You know we don't need things on the bike that make us nervous, or need too much attention when we're pedaling.
Also, how't the cycling in Bucharest? Do the car drivers give you any respect, or are you just a target? :)
@Palis1955 If you keep the mount rig to a minimum it's ok. I mean I only use the roll bar mount or the handlebar mount and the camera itself and that's it. No other small pieces, keep it as compact as possible, so no unnecessary flexing points. Now it depends on your bike, your style and the quality of the roads. On a mountain bike and offroad you might have problems caused by strong vibrations. Search the gopro users forums, there are some stories. I only do road cycling and no troubles so far.
@Palis1955 Bucharest is not ready for bikes yet. There are some shy gestures to improvise so called bike lanes. They only work near parks or... but not on the streets with traffic where you actually need them. The city is flooded with cars, they're parked everywhere, huge traffic jams. The historic road infrastructure we still have today is not ready to cope with the traffic statistics that "exploded" after 1989. The effect today: angry, uncaring, uncivilized drivers. There's alot to talk about.
Great video - Bucharest looks so much more beautiful by bike than when I was there and travelling around by cab a few years ago! Good job and thanks for the tour!
Nice vid mate! Smooth riding and good camera angle... very relaxing! Question for you though, I got a GoPro HD yesterday and cant upload my vids to YouTube. Is there any trick to it? I filmed in 980p on r4 (default) setting for 8 mins and it won't upload damn it!! Any help would be great!
@kstoyel Hello, thanks! Well no, no trick, the MP4 native GoPro (undamaged) files should upload as they are. Your 8 minutes clip is surely below size/time limits imposed by YouTube (2Gb / 15 minutes). All you need to do once you click the Upload button is to wait without closing the webpage until the uploading bar reaches 100%. Then it takes a while for your video to be completly processed by the site. Maybe you do it right, I just don't know what to say for now. Tell me exactly what happens...
You are truly the luckiest person to be able to live there... its incredible!! So much History! Unfortunatly, I live in England where the roads are potholed, however, a 5-10 minute ride takes me into the rolling countryside and the nostalgic part of having old pubs, (up two very steep hils) and an old Jaguar garage, its wierd to think that I'm only 16 and my friends are all playing on their Xbox's..... Well done!!
@CutByAngels Tell you what... let them play, you grab a nice camera, take it with you, film everything and... show me :) I'm planning a visit in GB for years now, somehow I didn't get the chance to do it. I want to see the "nostalgic countryside" as you call it, more than the big cities :) So if you show me a preview I think I will be trully motivated to get a plane ticket soon :)) As far as history goes, I really think you too have "a thing or two" to speak about. Maybe you're the lucky one ;)
@Sunnnnus I would love to! Just got on the Met office and its lovely rain rain rain for the whole week, but I'll see what happens, I will get you one soon! :)
@bobans Merci frumos! Cursiera: are neajunsurile ei in oras - gropi, borduri - este o bicicleta rigida prin definitie, fara amortizare, nu cea mai confortabila ca pozitie de rulare daca nu o folosesti pentru ce a fost conceputa, aderenta mai slaba pe asfalt ud, sensibila la socuri... Eu unul am o pasiune pentru Turul Frantei si pentru ciclismul de sosea in general, alegerea e clara... Dar poate tu ai alte planuri. Deci pune bine in balanta, doar un mic sfat, sa nu te dezamageasca in timp :)
Great Video! A friend of mine was born in Bucharest and now lives here in the US. It's a beautiful city with a lot of history. You put a lot of heart into this....that's easy to see.
How did you get the camera so smooth? We have the same camera and mounted in the same place, the results are very shaky. How did you get yours so smooth? Is it the roads or did you use some sort of mechanism? Thankyou.
@roubaix2100 no mechanism and no post processing, only the roll bar mount on top of the handlebar post. it looks ok but still... there are some blured moments caused by the bumps on the road. I don't know, maybe the original wide angle (960p) or my speed during the recording (you kind of "jump" over the imperfections of the street if you have some speed, same as a car)... or both... made the image fairly stable. Or... who knows!!! the Romanian roads have the best technology on the planet :))
@roubaix2100 :) just a joke, of course :) do you have an example? maybe a clip you can post on youtube or other sites? I'm curious about the shaky image you're telling me about...
@finbat You know, you've made me curious, I've done some searching... apparently there's The Romanian National Tourist Office or something like that. But I really don't think they're aware of my existence :) And I don't have a real package to make a good contribution... yet. For now, this is for my personal pleasure. Sure, if I bring a good or interesting image to my home country... well, it makes me feel even better :) Thank you for your kind words!
Nu am cuvinte, felicitari, foarte frumos, multumim! Cat de curand o sa trec si eu la bicicleta ca nu se mai poate(bineinteles cu un go pro hd) :D, salut.
paralela ta cu romanian family pushing a car... lasa de dorit... m-am saturat de romanii care-si fac tara de kaka in fata strainilor... cu ce scop oare? ce vrei sa demonstrezi?????
, in rest super clip-ul, chiar de nota 10 si ma bucur ca te-ai gandit sa faci asa ceva!
@rimxxx chiar primul meu comentariu, daca vei cauta jos de tot, se refera exact la chestia asta. nu am vrut sa jignesc, mai degraba sa ma amuz (si nici asta prea convins) de oamenii din intersectie. comentariul in engleza cred ca duce mai degraba la o descriere a vechilor obiceiuri decat la degradarea morala a romanilor de atunci in fata lumii. si cred ca reactiile strainilor sunt foarte onorabile, ba chiar surprinzatoare! nu gasesti? cred sincer ca am facut mai bine ca... Udrea! ce crezi??
@Sunnnnus mai mult decat atat!!! bunicii mei au peste 80 de ani azi, sunt oameni care au umblat cu acele care pe campuri toata copilaria! stii ce fac azi??? la varsta lor??? se judeca in tribunale sa isi recapete pamanturile parintilor!!! pentru mine!!! eu, care nu mai inteleg valoarea lor... stii de ce??? pentru ca ma simt dezradacinat si fara scop!!! stii ce?? capii tarii rup tara asta, nu eu!!! citeste FOARTE bine ce scriu strainii mai jos!!! EU, fara sa vreau, AM FACUT BINE! AICI e ACASA!
@Sunnnnus si in fine, stii ce cred? cred ca un detaliu te'a activat impotriva mea pentru ca SI TU resimti lipsa de apartenenta la un neam stabil, cu propriul drum si cu personalitate proprie in fata lumii ASTAZI. toti avem tendinta sa gasim imediat defecte in comportamentul celorlalti, vine totul din frustrare si din dorinta de a te exprima si de a fi auzit. am devenit toti judecatori in tara asta si de fapt toti avem aceeasi problema. au facut'o lata aia de sus... ok, m'am calmat. prieteni? :)
hey ,i hav nvr seen a cycle like tht so i dont knw wat the things in the handle is ,u 0:24 u pushed it 2 the right and i was like WTH is tht thing is it a brake or sumthing?please answer
@amitlimbu the "things" are brake levers and they work as brakes of course but they're also gear shifters if you push them side to side. the left one pushes the chain up and down on the crankset ( the 2 or 3 wheels that hold the chain next to the pedals), the right one is for the cassette on the rear wheel... anyway, search for "road bike shifters" on the net or youtube, you'll find out how they work.
Great video. I love ridding the tops on the Sora shifters. I had the same ones as you. A was hit by a car on my way to work and am getting a new bike.. thankfully it was the drivers fault and they are paying for a new one. Now im moving on to a new bike with 105s or Apex :)
@o0adam0o I'm thinking about an upgrade myself... I'll work on a both safe AND profitable acccident scenario these days... thanks for the tip!! :)) Ok, happy you're ok... I had an accident on my bike once, a 4x4 hit me right from behind, the rear wheel took the entire shock but I still flew through the air about 6 meters... wasn't preatty.
@xenbay No no, zero editing for video stability... These are the clips as they were recorded by the camera, no editing, only cutting the sequences for the timeline. The camera goes on top of the handlebar post (as I said before, it goes out 2-3cm above the handlebar), useing only the rollbar mount, nothing fancy. I think you can actually see the mount at the end of the video somewhere.
@Sunnnnus did you speed up this video at all or is it real time? the video quality is great! as well as the weather. looks like a great place to ride.
@skiatomic08 nope, real time only! and yes, there are a few places where you can have a good ride in the city, with no traffic... not enough though...
@Gogs13 Tocmai l'am vazut, foarte misto aranjat! Ai aratat chestii pe care eu nu le'am putut prinde atunci! O completare frumoasa! Poate facem filmulete impreuna mai la primavara.
@Chosenorc la fel, am 2 goproHD (pentru 3D) :P nu imi scapa nimic din cadru :) trebuie sa imi reglez unele mici probleme tehnice pe bicla pe moment (oscilez intre a'mi schimba tot angrenajul sau a cumpara o bicla noua cu totul). Ideea e ca am 8 pinioane si 3 foi (manete shimano sora flightdeck), vreau sa trec pe 8 cu 2 pentru ca asa sunt manetele. nu mai exista caseta de 8 pentru butuc Shimano. casetele sunt azi cu 9 sau 10. dar n'as vrea sa arunc bicla la gunoi... voi pe unde rulati de obicei?
@Sunnnnus Salut, Eu sunt mai mult axat pe MTB. Imi ofera mult mai multa siguranta pe strada si pot iesi si prin padure. Viteza e acceptabila pentru acum. :)
@Chosenorc eu am avut o perioada buna in care faceam catarari pe diversi munti in afara si placerea e maxima. iti dai sufletul urcand serpentine pana in varf dupa care coborarea la 80-90km/h e cadoul perfect pentru efortul depus :) nu imi place sa strabat aiurea distante pe plat in mod normal. catararea/coborarea e un adevarat challenge. ma gandesc la Transfagarasan pentru la vara, fac un film si acolo. dar asa e, MTB e ce trebuie aici. daca nu te omoara masinile, iti rupi gura in gropi...
Hi Sunnnnus.I visited Bucharest years ago, it is beautiful place. Your video inspired me to record my own with my new GoPro in Australia, have a look if you like! Cheers.
@theauditorybliss Hello! thank you for your comment! I would very much like to watch your video, unfortunately I get a message about Sony Music stuff and blocked content in my country..... :( My loss... If you plan other videos please give me a sign! this is very interesting to me! let's keep in touch :)
@unfairplay :) these are only the main and most important boulevards of the city. each has its history, some were created with care and meaning throughout history, other just insane comunist grand "gestures"... well... maybe I'll show the other "side" of Bucharest in another clip some day... :)
Frumoasa Romania, pacat de drumurile ei carpite si de idiotii din trafic care daca te vad pe bicicleta te cred mai fraier :),eu cand is pe bike ma cred in jungal :))
really nice, I wanna do this also in my city (Rotterdam, Netherlands). Great way to show a city, and show people that it is the quickest way of transportation in a big city.
@JordiSmulders yes, it is the quickest way but in Bucharest it's not at all the safest way... I don't have the guts to go out on a bike on a working day!!! no way! the Romanian drivers are NOT used to motors or road bikes! in fact, the city is not ready, the infrastructure is not at all adapted to this kind of transportation! maybe in a century or so the mentalities are changed and we'll have what you have in your country. so... I'm very interested to see your tour! :) thanks for watching!
well guess what. I just got my GoPro cam and made some recordings of my daily trip to work. I have to do some video editing and Ill share the link with you. Do you also use the 60 fps 720p setting?
@JordiSmulders yes, now I use this mode, the video runs smoother, it has a wider angle and it gives you the possibility to do some slow motion if you need to. 1080p and 720p60fps are my favorites depending on the situation. But this clip was filmed in 960p and then reduced to 720p. The 4:3 frame lets you later correct the position of the horizon in the final 16:9 frame. you know... panning up or down, when you can't really guess the best position for your camera. the new LCD will solve this.
Yeah, it's hard to figure out the panning without the display, but after a few little tests I've got it. You've inspired some people to do this also. I just uploaded my first video, you can check it out on my channel.
@JordiSmulders@pitoncreeck hey, guys... I've got an idea... let's find a way to start a channel or something just for showcasing our cities or countries (mainly on bike, but not exclusively). A sort of a quick world guide :) Anyway, as soon as the spring comes I'm planning other videos, I have another city in mind this time and some nice places in the mountains... so, we keep in touch. :) Jordi, thanks again for your clip, I've left you a comment on your video page.
Great idea! I already want to make different video's of myself and also other people (motor, diving, skateboard, surf, snowboard) and edit some action video's, it's fun to do. The weather here is still bad here also but let keep each other posted if there are new video's and how to post them. Maybe we can inspire other people :)
@Sunnnnus First of all, great video and an absolutely amazing idea. It instantly made me wish I could do something similar in Athens, Greece (where I grew up) and Freiburg, Germany (where I'm studying). If only I wasnt a student and had the €€€... :P But it would be great to be able to tour beautiful cities in HD from the handlebar of a road bike! Bliss :D
@usernamev Oh, man! I remember my studies in Aix-en-Provence (France)... I was on pasta and croissants for 2 months or so when I bought the parts for this bike :)) the passion came first, especially in the country of the Tour! :P thank you for your post and take care out there!
merci frumos tuturor. poate la primavara imi dati idei pentru "episodul 2" :) sau cine stie, facem turul pe zapada imediat ce apare! "Skiing in Bucharest" :)) thank you all!
@TheExoticGod roll bar mount, on top of the handlebar post (which is sticking out in my case, just enough to set the gopro rig right above the handlebar)
Am dat "sign in " in contul de youTube,( in concediu fiind) doar sa te felicit pt clip. stiu ca va conta comm.... pt. tine , pt ca iti va da un simt de impact asupra persoanelor (including me) care au vizionat filmuletul despre cea ce ai facut. P.S. foarte buna ideea despre promovarea naturala.
@murrex1 intr'adevar, face bine la suflet. daca un clip de felul asta amuza, face placere sau da idei mai departe e deja un lucru bun. merci frumos pentru gest si ganduri!
WOW! you are pretty cult my friend, and that´s a beautifull city youv´e got there, congratulations i enjoyed your history, and good edition, i belive you used premiere CS5 as posted on previous comments, i just have one question, what preset did you use on premiere for your video? (refering to your GoPro camera´s format) thank you for sharing this video with us, and ¨Greetings from Baja California, Mexico¨ lets stay in contact...
@crashproductions95 Thank you for your thoughts! The clip was filmed at 960p. The preset: HDV (Capture Format) and then HDV 720p30 sequence preset (so the frame was cut from 4:3 to 16:9). The rendering: H.264, HDTV 720p29.97,1280x720, 29.97fps. I've lost quality in the process because of the multiple renders: cutting, music, text. I've build this clip in more than one step, so you see motion blur and pixels. This is not the real quality of the GoPro. Plus the loss of clarity because of Youtube.
@Sunnnnus omg you actually lost quality? it still looks amazing, cant imagine the real quality, i need one of those cameras. and thanks again for the preset info..
@gabibuton merci frumos. a fost destul de laborios, sunt amator (laptop, Premiere CS5 etc) dar am o meserie legata de "imaginea" locurilor. am senzatia ca daca genul asta de filmulete ar fi promovate (si sunt o groaza care arata dragut si lucruri bune pe aici mai bine ca mine), am avea o reclama mai desteapta ca tara decat deja vestita "frunza turistica". e o idee... nu am multe vizualizari dar vad ca lumea raspunde cel putin ok la asa ceva, cred ca naturalul e mai atractiv decat "comercialul"
@guardianro nu, niciodata! dimpotriva, am gasit ca e oportunitatea perfecta sa amintesc de ei, chiar printr'o gluma... INCA nu s'a stins fenomenul in Romania!... m'am gandit ca daca pot arata parti din istoria recenta, trecutul vechi e greu de gasit in imaginile astea... mi s'a parut amuzanta paralela cu "nefericitii" din intersectie... de fapt... e limpede... romanii "noi" sunt de tot rasul de multe ori, niciodata cei "vechi"... altfel, imi pare bine ca ti'a placut! merci! :)

Cursiera: are neajunsurile ei in oras - gropi, borduri - este o bicicleta rigida prin definitie, fara amortizare, nu cea mai confortabila ca pozitie de rulare daca nu o folosesti pentru ce a fost conceputa, aderenta mai slaba pe asfalt ud, sensibila la socuri... Eu unul am o pasiune pentru Turul Frantei si pentru ciclismul de sosea in general, alegerea e clara... Dar poate tu ai alte planuri.

@Sunnnnus Stiu foarte bine care sunt neajunsurile cursierei deoarece am mai detinut una si mi-a placut foarte mult.
Si mie imi place foarte mult Turul Frantei si ma atrage mai mult ciclismul de sosea deoarece este mai elegant.
Am avut si Mountain Bike dar nu prea m-a incantat, in fine o sa ma decid eu pana la urma si multumesc foarte mult pentru sfat.

@Sunnnnus si in fine, stii ce cred? cred ca un detaliu te'a activat impotriva mea pentru ca SI TU resimti lipsa de apartenenta la un neam stabil, cu propriul drum si cu personalitate proprie in fata lumii ASTAZI. toti avem tendinta sa gasim imediat defecte in comportamentul celorlalti, vine totul din frustrare si din dorinta de a te exprima si de a fi auzit. am devenit toti judecatori in tara asta si de fapt toti avem aceeasi problema. au facut'o lata aia de sus... ok, m'am calmat. prieteni? :)

hey ,i hav nvr seen a cycle like tht so i dont knw wat the things in the handle is ,u 0:24 u pushed it 2 the right and i was like WTH is tht thing is it a brake or sumthing?please answer
amitlimbu 10 months ago
@amitlimbu the "things" are brake levers and they work as brakes of course but they're also gear shifters if you push them side to side. the left one pushes the chain up and down on the crankset ( the 2 or 3 wheels that hold the chain next to the pedals), the right one is for the cassette on the rear wheel... anyway, search for "road bike shifters" on the net or youtube, you'll find out how they work.

How did you mount the camera to the bike? You have done a good job eliminating camera shake.
xenbay 10 months ago
@xenbay No no, zero editing for video stability... These are the clips as they were recorded by the camera, no editing, only cutting the sequences for the timeline. The camera goes on top of the handlebar post (as I said before, it goes out 2-3cm above the handlebar), useing only the rollbar mount, nothing fancy. I think you can actually see the mount at the end of the video somewhere.

@Chosenorc la fel, am 2 goproHD (pentru 3D) :P nu imi scapa nimic din cadru :) trebuie sa imi reglez unele mici probleme tehnice pe bicla pe moment (oscilez intre a'mi schimba tot angrenajul sau a cumpara o bicla noua cu totul). Ideea e ca am 8 pinioane si 3 foi (manete shimano sora flightdeck), vreau sa trec pe 8 cu 2 pentru ca asa sunt manetele. nu mai exista caseta de 8 pentru butuc Shimano. casetele sunt azi cu 9 sau 10. dar n'as vrea sa arunc bicla la gunoi... voi pe unde rulati de obicei?
Sunnnnus 11 months ago
@Sunnnnus Salut, Eu sunt mai mult axat pe MTB. Imi ofera mult mai multa siguranta pe strada si pot iesi si prin padure. Viteza e acceptabila pentru acum. :)
Chosenorc 11 months ago
@Chosenorc eu am avut o perioada buna in care faceam catarari pe diversi munti in afara si placerea e maxima. iti dai sufletul urcand serpentine pana in varf dupa care coborarea la 80-90km/h e cadoul perfect pentru efortul depus :) nu imi place sa strabat aiurea distante pe plat in mod normal. catararea/coborarea e un adevarat challenge. ma gandesc la Transfagarasan pentru la vara, fac un film si acolo. dar asa e, MTB e ce trebuie aici. daca nu te omoara masinile, iti rupi gura in gropi...

JordiSmulders 1 year ago
@JordiSmulders yes, it is the quickest way but in Bucharest it's not at all the safest way... I don't have the guts to go out on a bike on a working day!!! no way! the Romanian drivers are NOT used to motors or road bikes! in fact, the city is not ready, the infrastructure is not at all adapted to this kind of transportation! maybe in a century or so the mentalities are changed and we'll have what you have in your country. so... I'm very interested to see your tour! :) thanks for watching!

@Sunnnnus
I can imagine! I think Iam gonna buy a cam also, can show you how it is over here. Almost everywhere are seperate bicycle lanes,
JordiSmulders 1 year ago
@Sunnnnus
well guess what. I just got my GoPro cam and made some recordings of my daily trip to work. I have to do some video editing and Ill share the link with you. Do you also use the 60 fps 720p setting?
JordiSmulders 1 year ago
@JordiSmulders yes, now I use this mode, the video runs smoother, it has a wider angle and it gives you the possibility to do some slow motion if you need to. 1080p and 720p60fps are my favorites depending on the situation. But this clip was filmed in 960p and then reduced to 720p. The 4:3 frame lets you later correct the position of the horizon in the final 16:9 frame. you know... panning up or down, when you can't really guess the best position for your camera. the new LCD will solve this.
Sunnnnus 1 year ago
@Sunnnnus
Yeah, it's hard to figure out the panning without the display, but after a few little tests I've got it. You've inspired some people to do this also. I just uploaded my first video, you can check it out on my channel.
Thanks for your info!
JordiSmulders 1 year ago
@JordiSmulders @pitoncreeck hey, guys... I've got an idea... let's find a way to start a channel or something just for showcasing our cities or countries (mainly on bike, but not exclusively). A sort of a quick world guide :) Anyway, as soon as the spring comes I'm planning other videos, I have another city in mind this time and some nice places in the mountains... so, we keep in touch. :) Jordi, thanks again for your clip, I've left you a comment on your video page.
Sunnnnus 1 year ago
@Sunnnnus
Great idea! I already want to make different video's of myself and also other people (motor, diving, skateboard, surf, snowboard) and edit some action video's, it's fun to do. The weather here is still bad here also but let keep each other posted if there are new video's and how to post them. Maybe we can inspire other people :)
JordiSmulders 1 year ago
@Sunnnnus First of all, great video and an absolutely amazing idea. It instantly made me wish I could do something similar in Athens, Greece (where I grew up) and Freiburg, Germany (where I'm studying). If only I wasnt a student and had the €€€... :P But it would be great to be able to tour beautiful cities in HD from the handlebar of a road bike! Bliss :D

WOW! you are pretty cult my friend, and that´s a beautifull city youv´e got there, congratulations i enjoyed your history, and good edition, i belive you used premiere CS5 as posted on previous comments, i just have one question, what preset did you use on premiere for your video? (refering to your GoPro camera´s format) thank you for sharing this video with us, and ¨Greetings from Baja California, Mexico¨ lets stay in contact...
crashproductions95 1 year ago
@crashproductions95 Thank you for your thoughts! The clip was filmed at 960p. The preset: HDV (Capture Format) and then HDV 720p30 sequence preset (so the frame was cut from 4:3 to 16:9). The rendering: H.264, HDTV 720p29.97,1280x720, 29.97fps. I've lost quality in the process because of the multiple renders: cutting, music, text. I've build this clip in more than one step, so you see motion blur and pixels. This is not the real quality of the GoPro. Plus the loss of clarity because of Youtube.
Sunnnnus 1 year ago
@Sunnnnus omg you actually lost quality? it still looks amazing, cant imagine the real quality, i need one of those cameras. and thanks again for the preset info..
