I made a bike/drone video to encourage more bikers and also a way of saying thanks to my friends and co-workers who didn’t hesitate once to give me a car ride when I needed the most.

People say no car means no life, or even no lifestyle in MotorCity: Detroit - a hub of auto manufacturing (read ironic?). It goes without saying Motown’s public transportation is very BAD! Detroit buses are untimely, loud and dirty. Imagine waiting for the bus and carrying groceries during windy winters, or bike riding 4 miles to work while putting my full sleeve formals on in the summer. I took an unconventional route to proved them wrong - I don’t have a car. Besides saving money by avoiding auto-loan, insurance and gas, I made good friends. I am a modern hitch-hiker. It gives me adrenaline kick in the morning at work and many other benefits.
