Project #2, summer cycling episode

That video was supposed to be my upcoming project as soon as I finished my exams, well at least it was, until a friend of mine came along and pitched his idea to me.  You wanna know what his big idea was?

I had a vision of filming them in various location, just so that they will be more relaxed as the camera is rolling. In fact, the more chilled I can get them to be, I hope to get a more h
