the video is really shaky but here is video from
things to note:
- 2 illegal parked vehicles in the bike lane.
- the terrifying bit of having a big tech shuttle next to you as the bike lane disappears at essex.
- the mercedes benz that completely cuts me off as it just decides they can hang out in the bike lane.
- the big trash can that just completely blocks the bike lane.
- the deleted bike lane between beale and main. the lumina construction got rid of a bike lane.
sorry for any swearing or hate in the video.

Terrifying. I would endorse finding a different route if feasible.

Keep fighting the good fight Darin, well... either that or just move to Amsterdam.
But seriously, I was mesmerized by this video. A commuting utopia really does exist!!

How do you have that camera mounted? That's a really hard video to watch.

I'd guess helmet mounted and he's alternating between looking at traffic and the road surface.
On a related note, what's with the sidewalk getting so wide for the ~20 feet right before Main where it's not wide enough for a bike lane.

its actually a k-edge, joint garmin and gopro mount.
i do need to fix the mount BUT as most people who ride folsom on a daily basis know, its not exactly the most paved street. there are some stretches that are particular bad. also a common go pro complaint is the lack of true image stabilization.
so if i had to write a post mortem there would be three causes.

FWIW, I've had better luck with the older oblong Garmin Virb devices, having those and a GoPro (3, Black) mounted in the same jittery racecar. They're pretty cheap since they've been discontinued and the Elite comes with GPS integrated (the Garmin software is pretty neat for overlaying data/maps).
The GoPro is still better for things that require accessories, like diving, since it's so ubiquitous.

Yeah I don't know what was going on there but I couldn't watch the video as it was making my nauseous. I trust Folsom is shitty though!

It was the rhythmic flexing that was bothering me, not the bumps. I think your handlebars are flexing (maybe you're standing?) and it gets this nice sweeping up/down thing that is really rough when viewed.
Anyway, you're aware of the problem. :)
