Bicycling the Posey Tube- Oakland to Alameda (was Webster Tube)

I made it about 2/3 of the way across before my battery ran out. The audio probably will suck- it did the last time I uploaded to YouTube. Sorry about the angle- if I ever do this again I'll not hold the camera in my hand. The camera is at handlebar height, the tile wall to the left is coated in soot from auto exhaust, the cars below are going about 60mph, and there's a nasty crack where a thin tire gets yanked about. Not a pleasant ride- West Alameda and Jack London square area need a better way for pedestrians and cyclists to get across.

Correction & update: This is the Posey Tube! Bicycles and pedestrians cannot use the Webster Tube wihch makes for some uncomfortable and dangerous interactions in this narrow walkway immediately above fast moving traffic!

Looks like a cool ride. Try mounting the camera on the frame.

My bike has no suspension, so the vibration would be a killer. Next time I'll mount it on my body or my helmet.

We can close the tunnels and raise the draw bridges to keep the Oakland filth out of our city.
