I make bicycle path videos Mainly from the St. Louis Mo. area and some videos from our recent trip to Boston Ma. I am looking to expand from traveling to other cities to ride bikes there and get videos from. I hope you like my videos. I am new to reddit can I make a reddit page of my videos Too? https://www.youtube.com/@CyclingStl

Sounds great for boring trainer miles if you don’t want to pay for a subscription. As a Rhode Islander, I highly recommend visiting the east bay bike path. That and the C&O canal in DC/MD/PA are my two favorites that I’ve ridden. Theres also an awesome one across lake Champlain in Vermont
To be blunt, not looking for these videos in the way that you’re making them.
I’ll happily watch videos highlighting nice routes and destinations, but 2-4min videos of common bike paths don’t scratch that itch. If you want to give an experience of paths and routes then I think you need to go longer and show entire routes, give some kind of descriptive of the ride experience. For instance, I live and ride in the Boston area and most of your Boston videos seem like you could have taken a single ride and chopped it up into videos of each individual segment? Paths like the Minuteman or Bruce Freeman or MCRT or Charles River Esplanade loop could be a half-day ride if you take it slow…why not make videos showing the entirety of a path, rather than little 1-mile chunks of them? If I’m going to watch a 3-min video it needs to have a story to it, with characters and events that occur. If I’m watching cycling “slow video”, it’s like 15-50 mins long.
This YouTuber is in the Boston area and, candidly, I think she’s doing a better job of the format you’re aiming for: [https://www.youtube.com/@TrailsandTreatsMA](https://www.youtube.com/@TrailsandTreatsMA)
