Another Biking Experiment Gone Wrong

As some of you know we have been experimenting with different camera setups to capture and share what it’s like to ride a bike on a deeper level. This experiment has had some challenges but I think it’s still worth sharing. I hope you’ll agree.

I met up with some new friends in Jersey City, NJ for a ride. This was August 2021, some things have changed since then, but it was a really good time. I think it’s important to remember that biking isn’t for only a select few or a special group. It can and should be for everyone. Bike communities are growing around the country and the world, and they give us a greater opportunity to share and connect with others.
