Bike Day 1

As a graduation present, and for losing nearly 20 lbs in my phys-ed course, Audra got me a new mountain bike! This is my first experience with a modern aluminum-frame bike (Gary Fisher). Sweet.

The video was taken using a camera mount so that I could still have my hands free for steering. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS without training and/or a proper hands-free camera mount.

Ill have more videos in this series soon. The music is from an effect pedal experiment in 2008, mistakes and all.

i'm poking kind hearted fun... There's a rattle i hear in the beginning that sounds like training wheels so that had me giggling. and when on the street you still have to stop for stop signs... but nice vid and have fun with the bike..

@TheSpazmoid - Training wheel percussion? Hmm... sounds like something I'd do, but not this time. Yeah, point taken on the stop signs. My wife pointed out the same thing! The side streets were pretty empty this time of day, but I do typically try to be careful and follow the signs/lights. Although, I've noticed some areas that you think would be bike-friendly, but really aren't. I prefer the quiet streets and trails.

I feel like I am tripping through Bloomsburg. Take that verb as you will. Just don't text and record at the same time. And, as I always say, "It's like falling off a bicycle--you never forget how..."
