Description: I used my Bikes At Work trailer to help my local bike shop move their rental fleet back to their warehouse after Jazz Fest ended. It was a knockout beautiful day with a brilliant blue sky, puffy clouds and a nice breeze.
I could load, haul, unload three bikes in 20 minutes - about the same time it would take in a truck but without the parking hassle (or burning a bunch of gas).
My wing men in the video are trained killers (US Military). In New Orleans thugs will punch you in the throat to take ONE bike and I am in possession of FOUR and moving slow. Not a great idea to travel solo to a deserted warehouse area by oneself.
We made a dozen trips this day, so every trip I would attach the camera differently. Only ONE camera was used. Then in editing I put the entire route together from start to finish using the best clips from each camera angle. This simulates the use of three to four cameras at once.
The camera was attached to my helmet facing forward and backward. I also attached it to the trailer a few different ways. The final cut shows every inch of the round trip from bike shop to warehouse and back to the bike shop to pick up another load.
Stick around after the credits for a blooper!

nice, reminds me of the time I spent there after the hurricane (I could not not figure out the location - before reading your description - until you rode one of the streets, I was there with US Army). I feel bad for the city - it does not seem to be in any better shape than 4 years ago
