Cycle ride-A timelapse video

This is a timelapse video of my cycle ride to work and back at a local college. The traffic hasn't been too bad recently, and this day it was fairly quiet, possibly due to road alterations in the area. I'd have loved to have done this in the middle of winter when the traffic was a nightmare, but i don't have a protective housing for the camera.
Also there's a cycle lane on the way home, part is a dedicated lane, and part is shared with pedestrians, but separated by a white line Often people walk on the cycle path. In this you can only see one person doing it, but students at the nearby university walk on it, and people using the park next to the path. It would have been nice to catch more of this........
When i work out how to fix the camera to the back of the bike i'll try a video with the rear view. It's not a view cyclists get to see, and it may show how close some motorists get to us on our daily commutes. Sometimes it's VERY scary!!
