For those with cameras, what about uploading a video/videos showing your daily commute to/from work?

 

Probably not the most exciting videos..., but it could be fun to see all the different locations/routes that we use daily  :)

 

This is me riding to work today: https://youtu.be/72HE7Khe-C0

 

Audio is decent, but I am still experimenting with the best microphone location.

I'll have to take a look if I can find one that wouldn't be too much self-incriminating.  :pimp:

Well, the reason for tiny curvy roads is that noone really need going there...
Gotta choose between job and interesting commute (just got a new job aged 57)....

My video would consist of 8 miles of filtering between 2 rows of mostly unobservant phone using car/van/truck drivers and 15 traffic light grand prix all crammed into a glorious 12 miles.
