Get more coverage in our Spoleto special section. A few years back, he started taking a bicycle ride around town on the eve of the festival to see what the mood was like in the city, and as a noted blogger in the local community, Dan is never short on a word or two to say what he really thinks about things; be it positive, negative or maybe a little cycnical at times. But hey, what's art, if it doesn't have its critics?
So we followed him around on his bike on Wednesday afternoon to get the lowdown on Spoleto -- from a bike.
I admit the video is a little lengthy at 6 minutes long, but we also think you'll find its worth watching.

I think that's the third time I've heard him use it, he seems rather fond of it.

I liked the reverse shot at waterfront park. The truth is, there is no camera.
