This is the first time I have biked in a Ciclovia-type event. This is the first of hopefully many Open Streets events in Santa Barbara, and I went up on the Amtrak Surfliner with my bike to participate. I hit a PR for speed during the event... a little over 5 minutes for one of the miles. This on a Beach Cruiser. This was also the first time my Beach Cruiser has been in its natural habitat...at the beach! This was lots of fun. I intend to do a lot more riding in the future because it's less strain on my plantar fascia in my left foot. Biking is fun, it's good exercise, and it's simple. If you don't have a bike, they're easy and inexpensive to get from a garage sale or from a bike cooperative in your town. Great way to get around too! Otagenki!

This is sort of a pilot for the Linux Inside series. The cut was originally made for a shorts competition that limited running time to 3 minutes in length. I will be re-cutting this for the series, as this cut leaves out a lot of interesting stuff. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9ZummhqnOw

Blue Rose Agents Chet Desmond and Ms. Geek are bored, being trapped in the Geeklair because of COVID19 "shelter in place" protocol.

Like the other two Otagenki Reports, this tells its tale visually. Eventually there might be an Otagenki Report with narration or even instruction, but I like the fact that I don't have a language barrier here. Anyone, from anywhere in the world, can dig on this. CICLE, Valley Bikery, the CSUN Bike Collective and a whole bunch of enthusiastic riders went on a ride around Northridge, CA to sample pastry and work the pastry off at the same time. This was a 10 mile course, completed in about an hour and a half. This is the first time I set up my Sony ActionCam on a mount on the "trunk" of my bike. The results were eye-popping. The ActionCam has Sony's famous "SteadyShot" technology already built in, but the combination of SteadyShot plus a more stable platform than my helmet made for super-smooth road action, albeit pointed out into the pack rather than specifically capturing my point-of-view. I think I will use my ActionCam this way whenever I film a ride from here on out. If you can get the chance to go out and ride in a group ride, especially one organized by seasoned vets like CICLE, go for it. You don't have to be anywhere near an elite rider to go on a neighborhood ride like this. They are designed for noobs. Get on your bike and have a blast. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8EpFtiC9c8
