Production of the video outstanding. Great scenery.
I believe if your bicycle computer was in the center the speed could be displayed clearly throughout the ride. I also like shifting my bike using a tachometer. That too could be placed under the computer.
The squeeze by from the large truck was very scary. If a lane isn't wide enough for lane sharing or the shoulder isn't safe to ride on the safest place for a cyclist/MB'er is the center of the lane not the far right. Lane sharing means the lane is wide enough for a vehicle to safely clear a cyclist/MB'er who's riding to the far right by 3 feet. If the lane isn't wide enough for lane sharing then then the cyclist/MB'er has the right to the entire lane. By controlling the lane a motorists must then go into the opposing lane to pass the cyclist/MB'er just like they'd have to do to pass any other slower moving vehicle.
Please watch all 3 parts of these videos.
You have such a nice bike. The production of the video was beyond great. You have a few bad cycling habits you need to overcome. It'll break my heart to hear you got side swiped because you were riding to the far right in a narrow lane instead of controlling the lane. As an MB'er you don't have the right to do an Idaho STOP. Which was near the end of the video. Please edit that out.
Before I was on Yahoo Answers Cycling, I too had bad cycling habits. That forum no longer exist but I learned many cycling techniques. In the beginning I had a bit of an attitude. However, I soon realized these cyclist weren't my enemies but were actually trying to help me. It was when I swallowed my pride and started listening to them; I began to learn good cycling techniques.
I now ride in traffic with much less fear of being in an accident. I personally recommend getting front/rear directional lights and a brake light that can be seen during the daylight hours. Sadly many drivers today dont know what hand signals mean. I'd also suggest getting a loud horn that can be heard in a closed compartment vehicle.
Please don't let pride over rule sound advice. It my hopes you use my to advice/suggestions to improve your weaker areas along with making your bike even safer.
I plan to make videos soon and want to seek your advise on the best ways to set them up.
I have nothing but love in my heart for you. We are shifter brothers so I have to look out for you.
