Bike thru Traffic SR

4ch surround recording of a bike riding through city traffic (Leipzig/Germany) on an evening in late spring.
Recorded with a Zoom H2 with a Rycote windshield in a shock mount fastened to the center frame above the pedals.
All recordings in the set are raw from the recorder and will usually need a hi-pass filter to deal with the rumble.

Waiting at a red traffic light equipped with a ticker to assist blind pedestrians, while a tram passes on the intersecting street. Then the light turns green, gear shifting and starting to pedal, turning into the intersecting major street with 4 lanes and a tram line while a car honks it's horn. Steady pedaling and freewheeling as numerous cars pass, finally stopping and dismounting.

These are the FRONT channels, mics set to 90° dispersion.
