Biking Through the Streets of Rome

Just before the famous Giro D'Italia, BiciRoma 2009 took several hundred orangey types through the streets of Rome, on what was an ostensibly 'closed' track, the same one used in the afternoon for the race proper.

'Closed to traffic' has some sort of other, possibly contrary meaning in Roman, I think. Was still great fun, and the several near-misses with tourists, taxis, and tour buses only added to the enjoyment.

Update: Just featured among the June 1st headlines from the excellent The Morning News (http://www.themorningnews.org). Thanks!

Also realized I wrote "Corso D'Italia" within the video instead of Giro. Anyway.

Nice!

The color saturation, beside speed, makes it really crazy... But it's OK ;-).

Did you click every single shot, or set up an automatic camera function?

Thanks! I clicked every shot, using a Digital Rebel XT. I don't think there's an option to do a series of timed shots on my camera.
