The Bike Commuter

Together, Steed and I will conquer these sky-rocketing gas prices. Noble Cam has courageously stepped up to document our victory.

Fun fact: Nine out of ten people watching this video will crane their necks up in the futile hope of seeing the horizon. IF I DO ANOTHER HELMET-CAM VIDEO, I PLEDGE TO AIM HIGHER. Literally.

what type of bike?

[aaro79]

@kse6063 Steed is a Trek 7500FX, a commuter bike (sort of a hybrid between a road bike and a mountain bike).

Not sure about other states, but here in Nebraska, the law demands a cyclist riding at night use a front light. A rear light is permitted, but may not take the place of a red reflector.

Way to bike that commute, man.

Good call on the biking safety/law info there.

Thanks! :)

I see that you keep your bike indoors with you. Is this correct? TRUST NO 1 Mr. Franco

[aaro79]

THIS IS CORRECT. I have learned from your example:) (and from having my last bike, Berry White, stolen from the carport) DX

Cool man. Go green.

[aaro79]

True. Lighting - front and rear - is super-important. I didn't mention it because I didn't happen to ride anytime in the video when I'd need lights.

I should make it clear for anyone watching that the points I mention do not make an exhaustive list for bicycle safety. Do your research and be safe!

One point you left out is to use a good lighting system. All too often, I see people riding at night without using their lights. Reflectors just don't do the job.
