Commuter Dreams

[aToOoOoMboi]

Just saw a post about this on facebook by wiggles.... so cool love it:-)

[bffaris]

Very creative. You have to love the Hawthorne Blvd bike commute traffic.

[myforwik]

hahahaha nice video

[rubber2theroad]

I can't believe this didn't make filmed by bike. One of the best i've seen. 

[iambendavis]

1:21 - Bahahaha



[lanceprime]

Love the video, well done.

BC Canada

[skoockum]

Those are swell racing fenders. Are they titanium or carbon fiber?

[pdxcommuter]

I have this fantasy too. Sometimes Phil and Paul provide commentary on my ride up Capitol, between Barbur and Wilson High School, in Portland, OR. Well done.

[505197]

Walter Mitty dominates on his way to work, well done mate . It reminds me of the many game winning shots I made as mom called me in for supper. Many a heroic shot was made in the back yard championships of my youth.

[02stanislava]

This is simply beautiful. Brought a big smile to my face, every cycling enthusiast should see this - and it would be truly appreciated. Fabulous!!

[cccorlew]

I laughed, I cried, a jumped around the room. Stunning!

[pdxjayteepee]

I can totally relate. We had a young couple and their son cheer us on riding through that cemetery on a training ride. It made me smile when they were shouting about the "attack on l'Alpe d'Huez. The hand slaps were a bonus.

[edgecru5her]

This is pretty funny. Well done. I ended up with a big grin on my face.

[lamargna]

i like it a lot, though 3 mins to long for my taste, but great work, congrats! 

[leftycarbon]

loved it. great work mate.

[SettleNow]

Well done! Thanks for that. You put a smile on my face.

[gdgtrekker]

excellent, well done. I like the OR finish as well.

[twistythistle]

I want his commute.

[TLKDPROD]

Sooo good ! Made my day !

[TarmacSkin]

Great video!! Very funny indead!.. Thanks for posting it

[rskidork]

Merritt - you rock man - can't say that any cath jockey ever looked so good schlepping his way up to the PVAMC - sweet video - a real "show of defiance"... but I'm not so sure about the "...young rider..." bit - cheers RM

[axessdenyd]

Very much enjoyed the video--I must admit to similar thoughts going through my head on occasion. I love the terrain of the ride, but I won't be able to handle that until I drop quite a bit more weight and get back into shape. Just wanted to let you know that the vid is one of the things helping to inspire me to ride my bike to work more now.

[baljeetd]

Pure gold - so much fun and captures our inspiration. Well done pdxweatherman - the synching is superb, and of course the very careful choice of sound-clips is genious. The chopper! :) Some requests: 1) edit out some of the start. 2) use standard TdF music at the end; 3) make another, longer one please.

[ericorion13]

I thought I was the only one! Nice camera work and editing. Good use of the "longer takes."

[mick01mick01]

Hahaha.. hilarious!

[boddtor76]

awesome

[mugwoof]

Awesome video! Great syncing of the commentary. Beautiful views.

[Roberto01GM]

The young Tiofosi on the climb and the podium girls/nurses were nice touches. Funny, and filmed with panache!

[pangloss9]

Damn, I wish the streets of Baltimore looked like that! Nary a tank-trap pothole in sight.

Thanks for the laugh, great video and and now I'm ready for July!

[joonda2]

enjoyed watching

[upyourtubeful]

I concur with the peloton -- great video, great commute. My commute in Boston is more like Paris-Roubaix.

[valdez13]

Great video! What a cool idea. Wish I had thought of it! :-) This video really does inspire one to get on the bike more often!

[masterfunk36]

The guy on the bike is okay, but the stars of this show have to be the women in the scrubs! Brilliant job on the film M, S, I and J. Come back to WI for that elusive wooden boat ride this summer!

[fernanp]

Absolutely brilliant!!!

[jambosana77]

Ha, ha!! Loved the bedding :)

GREAT work---used to make films myself. I've gotta get brother-in-law stevie stark to take me on this RIDE!!

[bretgross]

Bravo!

I'm hoarse from cheering...

[kefitz]

Best commute video ever!

[cyclistboy123]

Love this. Some of my favorite roads in all of Portland. Very well made. Smiling the whole time. Here's hoping for the best weather this summer!

[featherwingflight]

Nice ride LADD BOY! Wish I could travel the hills to glory in the 'couve.... THanks for the inspiration to keep trying the commute in the rain.

Ned

[gmganje]

Wow! Brought tears to my eyes. Must have just missed the cutoff for an Oscar. No doubt a ride to Hollywood next year to pick up award(s). Nice work.

[mplsmdj]

Excellent stuff. very fun. thanks! Those legs certainly conquered the mountains today!

[ericstecker]

That is excellent! Only satirical part I could detect was description of you as a "young frenchman"

[Aushiker]

Classic :)

[bi11ye]

Merritt Raitt is a cinematic genius! This video honors the everyday heros who make our planet a better place by reducing their carbon footprints. Way to go!

[yourduncle]

I like the commuteton.

[Mavisness]

Very clever! Great editing

[veloise]

Nicely done, but where's the Devil?

[arasmith]

Nice. I recognize the route. I commute through Riverview too. My co-worker recognizes you. You ride past his house.

[dtwisco]

that maillot jaune appears to be from yellow jersey on state st. in madison, wi.. same cow with wheel logo.

[kingstonwheeler]

A few of my training rides have had Phil and Paul's voices in my head.

Luckily the voices end when I clip out of the pedals.

[AlishaAPearson]

Fun!

[fredthesam]

loved it

[mjakubi]

this was absolutely delightful!

[xpress1127]

Well done, very amusing and creative.

[arefarefarefarefaref]

haha, nice

[section8filmworx]

Riveting.

[jabbid111]

haha thats awesome!

[MyDools]

well done guys...your famous now...Phil has you on his twitter!!

[1tridad]

LOVE IT! Way to balance work and play, from a fellow surgeon, triathlete, and Oregonian! This is how we have to live life to continue to enjoy and thrive in our profession.

[fauna9]

amazing video my moms a doctor up at the hill

[formulaben]

That's rad!

[charlesdyfis]

Not only a fun video -- but a gorgeous commute. This Texan is jealous of all y'all northwesterners! :)

[LeFeff]

I wish Phil and Paul would commentate my life. It would be much more interesting.

Thanks from another fan.

Feff

[Smy3th]

The podium episode at the end was a great finish. Wonderful video.

[eirepol73]

Very clever and slick :-)

Mirrors what many of us dream of doing ha ha.

Superb video :-)

[turbodog42]

I twittered the video at Phil & Paul and Phil replied! He mistook me for the creator but it's awesome to know he likes it.

@turbodog Absolutey brilliant! There's a job for you in TV, if you're not already. Phil

[edgcarrero]

Funny stuff. Great job!

[rrgane]

running Stops Signs, no turn indications.. typical..

[tezone1]

Great job! I love the comment at the end "look at those legs"...

[dlongdon]

Quite a brilliant editing job.

[velodevi]

Great video! What a fun way to look at the joy of riding!

[newspecialized]

so much to this effort.... love the disc brakes and fenders. thx

[axoplasm]

Love the hand up at 3:20.

[ejcm75]

Love the helicopter shot

[robroberts2064]

How'd he get a helicopter shot in this???

[erinengelking]

the shot was taken from the aerial tram. i can tell from riding it every day.

[sprocketporter]

Brilliant!

[fmcarmody]

Best line: "Are you watching these dumb tapes again?"

[dgrabski]

Great stuff :) Where is that climb @ 2:50 in pdx?

[TheyRThem]

I believe that is the cemetery, just west of Sellwood.

[pereiracycles]

Love the look back and the full stop at the stop sign. Way to use the tram as your chopper!

[salvino444]

Well done, some real talented filmmakers in that family.

[joelpala]

I love it! Very funny, and very creative..

[mncallender]

Oh my gosh that is so cool, now I see why our cases never start before 8:30 am-- you are out riding all over "tarnation" and yes indeed look at those legs!

[testdrivevideos]

Great video! I ride the same route and loved every minute!  If you need a job filming and editing, contact us.
