BikeDC 2012 Videos

[melaniesuzanne]

Both Scott and I had a blast riding in BikeDC this morning. I have scads of photos to edit and upload. In the meantime, here are some shakey-cam videos from the northbound lanes of the George Washington Parkway in Mclean, VA, and the westbound lanes of the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge over the Potomac River.

I'm kind of kicking myself for not taking some video along the Rock Creek Parkway because that section was bee-you-tiful. On the other hand, we were still pretty much in a pack and I needed both hands on the bars and brakes both going up and coming back down. Next year, I'll actually use the camera mount I put on my handlebar.


This is totally a bikeyface. (I was too happy to be at all self-conscious about my braces.)

Was any of the rest of the ride bad enough that you were glad to have gears?

I'm also really glad that when I risked the TR bridge this morning, it was pretty empty.

Oh, yeah. The northbound ride up GW Pkwy would have been unpleasant without gears, as was one part of Rock Creek Pkwy. We did pass a girl riding a single speed cruiser on Pennsylvania Ave and then again on Rock Creek. I should have complimented her hardiness but I didn't want to break her concentration.
