China BMW Rider Blog: Shanghai's Nanpu Bridge

Hello.

I recently took the plunge and dared to ride over a tall bridge in Shanghai, and I opted for the Shanghai Nanpu Bridge; and let me tell you - the wind was intense. Having to lean over on to one side and adjust my weight against the wind to protect myself from being knocked over. No easy task.

Too bad all of Shanghai's bridges are off-limits to riders. Such an anti-bike city. Too bad.

China BMW Rider Blog: Elevated Highway Video 02

Hello.

Well, I've just made my second video riding my BMW F800GS on Shanghai's elevated highway and yes, the Contour HD Camera yet again performed lovely. I managed the get the camera looking pretty much straight this time. Still lots more to learn. Lots more to film.

Every weekend morning I like to go out riding in Shanghai, China. And this morning I took my BMW F800GS on Shanghai's elevated highway in Central Shanghai, an expressway that is off limits to motorcycles and usually full of traffic. But this morning, the Chinese New Year's Eve, the road was empty, the police were not around and it was -3C. So I took the opportunity to make a little video and almost freeze myself to death. This is a great example of "New Shanghai", full of sky scrappers, modern and highways.

China BMW Rider Blog: A Ride Along the Bund

Hello.

Well, I think I've just made my 3rd video, this time riding my BMW F800GS along Shanghai's historic and famed Bund, and yes, Contour HD Camera yet again performed lovely. Looks like I am getting the hang of this. Still so much more to film.

Every weekend morning I like to go out riding in Shanghai, China. And this morning I took my BMW F800GS along the Bund, or river front in Central Shangahi. The Bund is full of old colonial buildings and at the moment the are being refurbished for the Expo 2010 which is being held in Shanghai. On this particular morning, the Chinese New Year's Eve, the road was empty, the police were not around and it was -3C. So I took the opportunity to make a little video and almost freeze myself to death. This is a great example of "New Shanghai", full of sky scrappers, modern and highways.
