    Loved it!

    I know that feeling of thinking you've got something yummy to eat and then realizing you won't get to eat it at all. It's making me hungry just thinking about it, and it's not even lunchtime.

    Yay! That was fun! Sorry about your lunch though. I'm sure ridenread is right though...someone who needed it probably enjoyed it.

    Oh no! I'm so sorry about your lunch! But I enjoyed virtually tagging along on your lunch break!

    Pardes your short film was great. I thought it was cool how you have this rolling camera on your bike. What a set up! I was sorry to hear about your lunch not being there when you got back to your office. It looked like it would be good one. Perhaps you have resolved your bungie cord for a better solution.

    Poo! *sniff* I wonder what creature is eating your lunch?

    Pardes, can you make videos similar to the "talkies"?

    More videos please!

    Yes, I've resolved the bungee cord problem....I just stuff stuff in the panniers and don't take any chances with the cord.

    Tuckervill you are so right. If I had bought the pie, I would have been really bereft.

    Thanks everyone for the comments. I'm still figuring out Adobe Premier Elements. Each short little video represents a mountain of a steep learning curve in splicing video and music.

    There are few more short videos in the works as soon as I find more royalty free music and finishing filming the main subject(s). I would like to branch out into doing interviews of local bikers in the area.....a cross section of the die-hard mtb'ers to the rising number of "seniors" I'm seeing around....to the long distance racers of which there are also many in the area.

    Hey, it's the only way I'll get to talk to them since I can't keep up with them on a bike.

    The Blackshirt interview was called off due to heavy rain but I'm gathering background material on videos and 1st amendment rights (for both the subject and the videographer.)

    Yes, I've found I'm happiest pedaling about 6 miles an hour with incredibly frequent stops to "notice" things. What a GREAT hobby.

    I was in Delaware last week (Cape Henlopen; Lewes).

    I was in AWE of the sheer numbers of cyclists there. All of them over 40, at least. What a great place to live.

    You are so right about the very high number of bikers (for the size of state) and the even higher proportion of mature bikers. I don't have statistics for that but they are everywhere when I'm riding around.

    I'm also noticing another non-statistically based "fact."

    I say hello to every biker that I pass or meet.

    kids younger than puberty always say hello back
    young ladies up to about college age NEVER say hello back
    .....they give you that drop dead you are so uncool look
    young men up to about college age always say hello back
    .....many of them will stop and inspect my bike and show me their add-ons
    bikers not wearing helmets NEVER say hello back
    "racers" decked out in full regalia almost NEVER say hello back
    ....unless they are mature bikers and then they STOP and talk and talk

    Interesting.
