Great video. Would love to see a 'summer holiday' video where you take a Brommie on vacation to somewhere with expensive taxi fees (Greece, Japan, etc...?) then overcome the costs by cycling from the airport to the accommodation, as well as around town (and/or between cities?!) after that. The end of the video could add up all the costs saved versus a presenter that did everything through taxi/public transport. Plus you could also highlight any interesting locations and side roads discovered as well as the calories burned/fitness aspect.
