    What would be really interesting would be to back-mount the camera on the FRONT rider, and get a shot of someone biking NYC from in front of them..

    Except for the earmuffs and the lady-like way with which she got on the bike at the beginning; how do we know that the rest of the ride was REALLY Joanne?!

    Great track. With that pace though she should consider entering in the Beijing Olympics! What? It was ffwd? Oh. Cool clip nonetheless.

    Have a great weekend. Rock on!

    Eh.

    The high-speed camera gimmick didn't hold my attention. Especially since half the footage was so dark.

    You kinda sucked the mood, atmosphere and intoxicating danger of riding a bike in NY right out of this. You could have done this in Des Moines and it would have felt the same. Just a lot of images coming at us way too fast.

    My suggestion: Post a couple clips from this ride at normal speed, maybe the park and maybe if Joanne got a mite close to a truck here or there. Use ambient sound. Give us a taste of what it was really like.

    Love the music. Little dark in spots.
    Would\'ve been Fun to do a 2-pane split with 1 shooting rider & background + 1 shooting where rider is going.

    I really liked this one
    Yes it it hard to know if that was really Joanne but that is not important.
    I get that due to time constraints it was impossible to use normal pace and thusly also ambiance sound had to go.

    Hmm, sounds like GarageBand.
    I can do it, but I can\'t understand some of the loops.
    I got some, but I don\'t know the others.

    Can you give us the loops?
    So far I\'ve got:

    Long Crash Cymbal 06
    Natural Drum Kit 10

    I wanna make one for me Mac for me!!! :)))

    --GarageBand, additional GarageBand loops and Jingles, preloaded on iMac--

    Those are some very lucky handlebars, to be held like that, for such a length of time...

    Hey, snap out of it Mike! Ooops, sorry. What I meant was, that\'s a very nice bicycle.

    I\'m a huge biking enthusiast; I try to ride whenever possible. So watching this RocketBoom show was delectably delightful indeed. That was quite a ride, too, as it looked like it included {by quick glimpses :) } battery park city(?), the west side along the Hudson, the 20\'s and 30\'s up into mid-town, past the Eiffel Tower, then up onto Central Park, and beyond. That\'s a whole lot of pedaling! What an excellent chronicle of Manhattan during autumn! (Sorry, that Paris landmark is only in my imagination).

    The music was great, again as usual, also. I downloaded the GarageBand link (from Drew, above) but it would not open for me. I suspect, though, that it is because I have never upgraded from GarageBand v1.1.0; and Drew\'s file was most likely made on a more current version.

    \"Cool

    Ride in style...

    Would also be awesome if anyone is into mixing up some of the Rocketboom adopted theme music from the Science Songs Album:
