Jamaica Ave Bike Commute

Riding home from work (SUNY Downstate Brooklyn ) heading east on a busy
Jamaica Ave.(Queens NY) under the J train.
I'm riding a Wheeler 14 spd road bike with a
Sanyo Xacti C4 digicam in hand.

wow, not exactly my old hood (st.albans, merrick&linden) but, i know the feel of riding under those lines (mostly from the N in astoria). also know that song very well, one of my favourites. im also very familiar with that camera. i have the orange c4 model. bought it in tokyo, 2004. autofocus went crazy couple years ago, lint on the inside of the lense, noise across the stills & video accompanied by loud buzzing. but, ive taken it everywhere and had a lot of fun how has yours been?

I used to live in St Albans on 195 st off 120 ave.

It's a very handy do it all camera. I've since bought a second hand (ebay $100) c6 which is much better at indoor videos with poor lighting.
