Dave borrowed a Gorillapod and recorded another Bike To Work video. I really like the music he used (his own!), juxtaposing the many speedy down hill parts of his commute. The cars he trails are only good for showing us his reflection :-p, I spotted a Dutch bike on the bridge and it is ALWAYS [...]
Biking In Portland
Amsterdamize reader/viewer Dave, aka the ‘Melancholic Optimist’ from Portland, Oregon, contributes this video of his bike commute: to work, going from what looks like the suburbs to downtown Portland.
“…it’s about an 8 mile commute round trip (13 km), it’s just that Portland is arranged in neighborhoods outside of the main city center area. It’s [...]
Here Comes The Sun by Wim Harwig
Wim Harwig from Vlissingen sent 4 videos to Amsterdamize, this being one of them. He rides home on his recumbent bicycle from working the night shift, enjoying an extraordinary sunrise and a generally serene commute home. Well shot from all angles possible, including eying himself. I love it.
As highlighted in the ‘Xtra’ segment on Amsterdamize [...]

Speed & practicality.
Resting easy at bike traffic light & turning right on red.
Tourists rolled into frame from the pavement, passed the traffic light (no biggie), but still too scared or oblivious to use [...]

Soundtrack: “I Can’t Slow Down” - Brett Dennen (thanks to Withtikit)
The highway bends like my lover’s leg
Pulls me in like a wick draws a flame
She don’t bother to remember my name
We don’t talk of such things
I’ll kiss you once
Baby, I’ll kiss you twice
But I can’t kiss you for the rest [...]

Perfectly Normal
Practice, originally uploaded by mindcaster.
She’s on her way to field hockey practice/training, in casual club sporting gear (nice logo), hockey stick in her left hand while on the handle bar, bag over shoulder…then her phone rings, you see her reaching for that. No wobbling, no fuss, completely at ease and comfortable.
144 km a day commute…by bike
I caught this news item, or should I call it a ‘nugget’?
Flemish military bikes 144 km to work every day
BRUSSELS - His wife and children think he’s nuts. Anything trumps being stuck in traffic, says Flemish military Peter van der Haegen. Hence, he cycles to work every morning, 72 kilometers to Brussels, and back [...]
