Welcome to my video blog! I'm Adam and I am a civil engineer and longtime road, rail, bridge, bicycle, and trail enthusiast in the Chicago area. I have loved road, rail, and bike trips since I was little growing up in the 90's and 2000's. I loved hearing the sounds of driving over cracks and joints in the road, the whistling sound some roads made, and all the scenery that such a big and fast road could pass through whether that be woods, prairies and farms, Downtown Chicago, other buildings, lakes, or rivers.
Now that I'm older, I have found that road trips and bike trips are so soothing and you can practically go anywhere. So I got a dashcam and I started filming all the Chicago area expressways and bike trails. The videos are filmed in HD and there is no music nor are they sped up. Just a plain old road or bike trip with all the sounds of the road still there. Enjoy!
