bicycle messengering in San Francisco

[VarfdeMunte22]

what an ugly song....

[inivonwini]

That's some really Avant garde stuff there

[mwparenteau]

It's still awesome, Dan! :D

[dangingold]

thanks man.

[thackmasterplus]

It evokes mixed emotions but lacks a concrete messenge.

[creeksidejay]

these are all familiar scenes to me. never was a messenger but i rode a bike exclusively for the 8 years i lived in frisco. for a cyclist, it's a wonderful playground to ride all over. nice video, nice images and the music captures the spirit very well.

[habitatrider303]

a friend and i are thinkin bout movin out to san fran to do bicycle messengering. how do u like it out there? know of anyone hiring?

[dangingold]

I live in New York now.

[NMERider]

Very atmospheric and moody. Keep producing!

[trocarbronx]

looks like a fun city to ride in.

[SilverTimberwolf]

Wow, I thought the east coast bike messengers were good, this ones more relaxing!

[toberborgan1]

sounds a lot like the song from "one flew over the cuckoo's nest"

[toddrickdoeshus]

hey whats the song you used for this? nice!

[ezimacks]

That video is fantastic! It makes me sad I miss riding in San Francisco.

[scullpolisher]

cool video man :)

[hydramn]

do you grip with just one hand on handlebars? or is cam attached (velcro?) to your hand? pretcool

[OK2BCK]

thumbs up man.

[hydramn]

have you ever problems with dirt or debris getting caught up in lens? or just careful wipe after every ride? use special cloth n solvent?

[dangingold]

haven't had problems. don't really take it out in the rain.

[hydramn]

could u describe your camera mount on your bike? what materials is used? pretty good, not much bumps or shakes. you record video on sd card?

[dangingold]

handheld, records to cf card.

[LonGHairedHermeS]

Is that a fixed gear bike

[dangingold]

it's true.

[majornewb]

0:39 JFSC right next to Geary Blvd. That's where I go to school

[Goshogirl]

Glad you feel that way don't ever visit us. We don't want you here anyway.

[Goshogirl]

Gays are smarter and nicer than you so they are always welcome. This is written by a born and raised straight San Franciscan

[TerrenceG]

sweet video

[carolynhilton]

youve heard, i know--your friend megan makes beautiful music! The link to her myspace a few pages back doesn't work. Has she stopped recording? Is there anywhere else I can find her music?! (p.s. YOUR film was beautiful aswell.)

[ToberMcGee]

Nice music. At first I thought I heard a theremin, but it's a saw and bow. Am I right?

[dangingold]

it was a bow, but not a theremin.

[time2eject]

so dan . . . is on the board out or coming out? fill me in buddy. peace =]

[jroperphoto]

so simple and elegant. (Aero, Speedway {Snow's long board}, Pelican, Crosstown)

[tomcatfranks]

Sweet!! Good ol' San Fierro!!!

[Boysetsfire757]

Also, the way you made the video it looks pretty oldschool and raw, love it.

[Boysetsfire757]

I want this song SOOO bad.

[boldaslovenotwar]

very nice.

[abas0abas]

does uphill must kill but the downhills gotta fun and fast...real fast

[rabbitNZ]

ahh lovely.. damn i have very little to say ... but

Thank you.

[TheBalloonProject]

we could have used you on our launch? do you case things as well as carry them?

[sensibiliak]

beautiful video! ride on~

[dob90210]

Nice one and I like the song. I didn´t see any flowers in anyone´s hair though. Never been to SF. Was a messenger in Montreal for a year or two though.

[matrixman673a]

Hurrah for bikes. And messages.

[Centifolia32]

i like it too. :-)

[yttytyyy]

I tip my hat off to you fixie messengers..I am a fixie also.........one more bike, one less car.

[tristancardew]

I'm currently building up a fixie, and just waiting to enjoy a feeling like this video gives me. Thanks very much:)

[badagagurl]

whoa that was really cool, nice job :)

[mortislegion]

That was really relaxing to watch, nicely done!

[Lundadeuna]

Thanks for sharing this! I enjoy my walks in the Financial District where I watch with envy as all of the messengers fly by. It seems fulfilling in that take-in-the-city kind of way. Hope to see more of these..

[reamadagasan]

yay! this video totally makes me think of my own bike adventures here in the city. i don't ride as much as a messenger (who does?) but i ride a lot. it was cool to show my non bike buddies a little of what the life of an urban cyclist is like.

[beyonder]

really quite lovely

[Papiertiger]

I like it. It kind of touches my soul and gives me a pleasant feeling.

[chillinginjp]

very nice.. not heart-in-throat like 'bicycle messengers are on crack'

[chriskarma]

I worked for western,silverbullet,flash,all­ens,blackdog,king,zap,aero,& a few others I can't remember.

good vid...is that mufin megan music?

[moondoggie71]

I rode for Kangaroo back in the mid 80's.

[krosm]

Great stuff - makes me smile. Please do more!

[urbanfreedomfighter]

thank you! your video is givin me back another feeling for the streets i forgot for long time. speed isnt everything that counts.

[AnsaralZindiqi]

Great video. Good to see SF after so many years. I worked at Speedway from '85 to '88. Most of those guys are dead and gone but I moved to the Yukon and still live. Hope you make more of these. I really do.

[yunim]

please tell me more about the music. the video is great!

[dangingold]

[gtown82]

[ultraV]

[mwparenteau]

Dan, that video rocks! What program did you use to compile it?

Megan's music is great.

[shearshear]

That is nice.

[idiotgud]

[CaptDope]
