Video is shaky since he was holding camera in 1 hand while hanging onto handlebar with other hand, as he is cycling up the bridge ..approx. 5-6% grade.

I'm the dot way off in a distance ahead of him. But abit slow as he approaches closer to me at the summit/plateau.

That is a delightful virtual tour of your new bridge. Was the wind pretty stout?

We're getting a new bike bridge.
I've been watching it built, slowly, gradually each time I commute. It'll be a cleaner simpler design, straight up, turn, ride over the freeway. I like this idea, no blind turn not knowing what or who is ahead nor the more important humiliation when I dab and can't take the sharp turn.
On the far right you can see the other side. Right now we still have to rev it up and leap over the traffic. JK.
Here's what's being built*:
