A bicycle commute

Interesting stop-motion video by a bicyclist on his way to work (he even stops for a red light).

Might be a bit discomforting, though, if you're the sort who needs Dramamine on boat trips.

He looked like he was following all the rules, but its hard to tell. I was able to see a group of bikes go through a red light about halfway through the video.

Overall it was a pretty cool, if slightly nausiating, video.

thx

I try to follow the rules but it's not easy on some of the streets. I was riding up Huntington today and feared for my life. The people you see passing me ran red lights. I ran one after stopping - some intersections do not seem safe for a bicycle to stop.

Route?

I recognize some of the route but not all of it -- do you happen to have a map or cue sheet for this ride?

is correct!!!

The best shortcut is MIner St to Fullerton to Kilmarnock. The ride home os not as quick if I want to obey the rules of the road...

Thanks for confirming, for

Thanks for confirming, for sharing that great video, and for showing me a new shortcut. I didn't know you could get from Beacon all the way to the Fens via that corridor, and I am over at Harvard Vanguard pretty often for work.
