Biking through Arlington, VA to Georgetown, Washington, DC

A test video of my bike trip from the Ballston Metro station in Arlington to the Barnes & Noble on M Street in Georgetown. The video was recorded using Flip Mino camcorder mounted to a Joby Gorillapod, which was mounted to the handlebars. It is shaky b/c of the way it was mounted. It picked up every bump and every little twitch of the handlebars. The video is sped up in places so the shaking effect is a bit more pronounced. Again, this is a test video with no sound.

The Key bridge has a sidewalk to be used by bikes and foot traffic.

Where the hell did you learn to ride a bike? A bicycle has all the rights and responsibilities as a motorized vehicle does. That means you are suppossed to follow all driving laws just as if you were in a car. You keep running those red lights like that and you will end up splattered under the front of a car. I do hope you realize it is also illegal to be riding your bike on the sidewalk like that. I'm sure the pedestrians that you nearly hit did not appreciate it either.

Really liked it. Try a helmet mount. Maybe you'll get rid of some of the vibration plus we'll see exactly what you see. You may swing your head too much, so maybe another vibration reducer will have to be figured out. Good job. I lost the comments added when I downloaded this video... too bad.
