Local Boulder Biker, Mat Barlow, straps his video camera on his bike and tours the city of Boulder in an entire loop around the town without stopping.
Boulder has one of the world’s best bike path systems. To show just how much fun it is to ride, and how far you can go, Matt Barlow set out to put together the longest route he could think of, without repeated any sections of path, and videoed it with the GoPro Hero HD. Then he sped up the video to made it all video-gamey.
