Very cool. I ride nearly the same route from UP to 42 and Woolworth (then i'm home) exactly the same once you get the St Mary. My climb out of downtown is completly different. Will have to try this one.

Thanks Dan. To avoid any legal hassles with music licensing, I tried YouTube's "AudioSwap". I couldn't find any band that I knew, but was able to search by genre and find something that was about the right length and style.

Nice vid. Interesting route home. I think Omaha has far more bike-unfriendly drivers than bike-friendly.

Thanks for the comment. In my commuting experiences, and from talking to other cyclists who live all over Omaha, it seems that motorists are more friendly to cyclists in the older parts of town, perhaps east of 72nd Street. I think motorists expect to see cyclists downtown and midtown. Once they get out west, cycling is regarded more as a recreational activity, so they think the cyclists should be on the trails.
