She does watch most of the videos at least once soon after they are online. She would prefer that I didn't bike in NOLA at all (mostly because of crime) but isn't too worried about the riding. My buds all ride like me as does most anyone who has the capabilities here, so she sees it through a windshield all the time. She is in agreement that is is much less annoying to get passed by a bike, or to follow someone doing 20mph, than all of the slow and wrong-way cyclists around.
You know the speed of the vids are sometimes ramped up in editing don't you? The video in the OP is normal speed but the camera is on the handlebars (not on my helmet) and that makes things look pretty close to correct. The helmet mount makes the speed look really slow, so I often speed those up a bit.
