Skopje is very convenient for cycling. It lies in a valley but also has some high hills and mountains surrounding it. You can go from one side of the city to the other without much sweat and if you want some hard-core action you have the mountains Vodno on the south and Skopska Crna Gora on the north to fulfill your adrenaline needs. This video is from a middle-weight route through the northern parts of Skopje. Starting at the municipality of Aerodrom, climbing Zelezara hill, then down to Butel and up again to Radisani. After a picturesque off-road adventure, I continued up to the villages of Pobozje and Kuceviste, the highest points of this route (588 m / 1932 ft.) From there starts the greatest pleasure of this trip – the long and fast downhill ride to Kuceviska Bara, and back to Butel again. Instead of going back to Aerodrom, I turned west towards Topaana and after that climbed Kale to enter the city center. Riding through Novo Maalo, under the railway station, I returned to Aerodrom, where I live. The tour lasted about two and a half hours, with 38 km (23 mi) total and an altitude difference of about 350 m (1150 ft.)
The videos are shot with GoPro 7 Hero Black, using its powerful TimeWarp feature and incredible stabilization. The camera was mounted to the bicycle handlebar, using a common sticky tape. It shook a lot, but obviously, GoPro nailed it this time with their HyperSmooth stabilization feature.
