Here are a few videos documenting my experiences cycle commuting through Glasgow. I film this using an ATC2000 helmet camera (makes me look like the borg!).(Archos 404 helmet camera from August 2007, and now the Dogcamsport 550/580 Sony HQ1 camera from August 2008)

Although I tend to post incidents it should be noted that the vast majority of my journeys are uneventful and enjoyable.

Cycling is by far the best way to commute to work!

Motorcycle is actually by far the best way to commute and is infinitely superior to pedal bikes in almost every single way.

That kind of attitude from motorists is no surprise in Glasgow.
