Today is Wednesday, March 10, 2021, and I'm taking my new Rebel 1100 DCT for my work commute. Viewers have asked for more bike sounds, so I edited this video with minimal audio processing and not much timecompression to give you more "seat time" on the Rebel! Skip to the end of this description for clickable time indexes.
Time indexes:
