Braved my longest commute yet on my electric bicycle last Friday! It was an adventure for sure. I started with a flat tire that wouldn't seal, couldn't get a hold of my family for assistance, just made it to my destination with a few minutes to spare after Slime decided to seal, and the return trip had me battling inconsiderate cagers (no offense, I too drive a car often :)). I documented my ride with my new Drift Ghost HD camera. I love this camera! The sensation of speed from the wide angle lens and image quality is excellent.
