to answer the first question: the windscreen doesn't get in the shot at all, and it helps out considerably when filming in windy conditions (in actuality, it's a microphone cover!) I live in Centreville and work at A-1 cycling in Manassas. I moved to the area in January from just north of Philly, so I was local there. now i film for Manassas locals. As for the name Switchblade, My boss at the shop started calling me that my first week there, and it stuck. oh well, i've had worse nicknames!
