Part one of BIKE RIDE. Mens sana in corpore sano. "Interesting" facts about this video: I cycled 350+ miles to make it. I only dropped the cameras twice. Top speed in this video is 45mph (well part 2). (My personal best is 48.2mph). I had 7 near fatal accidents whilst making this, which is 6 more times than my other video "144 Facts About God", in which I made myself laugh and nearly choked on a biscuit. I've discovered that strapping cameras to your bike makes a dangerous activity significantly more dangerous. Editing down 70+ hours of mind-numbingly tedious footage to make this video was difficult. Bike used was a Specialized Allez. There are nine million bicycles in Beijing. Making a video that depends on uniformly sunny weather over an extended period of time in England is a thankless task (impossible). This video is vastly more interesting if you've actually been to the places I'm riding around...or if you're me. You've got yourselves to blame :D Camera used: D005 Mini DV Spy Camera just £11 brand new from ebay (X2). Using 8gb Class 6 Micro SD cards. They're surprisingly good for £11, but very, very, very limited. Note: For those interested, the time/date stamp was removed by cropping the image into widescreen. And the cameras were attached to the bike (or me), via the professional materials of velcro and celotape. If anybody would like to donate a proper GoPro HD action cam to me, I'll gratefully accept it :D Thank you Music: wu-tang clan - deep space (feat.lord jamar and rza)(jay da flex and yoof remix) whoa Camera Mount Positions: Rear quick release pointing backwards, forwards and upwards.
