If I was to buy a helmet cam ...

[Davidc]

I played with the camera on my Android phone once. Only time I've ever recorded a ride. Had it in my top shirt pocket.

Sent a copy of part of it to the taxi firm which employed the idiot who overtook me while I was turning right by Taunton station.

He doesn't work for them any more.

I still don't use one, can't be bothered with it, but twice yesterday thought that perhaps it would be a good idea. If you think it would help getting back on the idiot driver's club then use one, but Greg, please don't put them on U Tube as there's far to much there already!

You should not judge cyclists that use helmet cams purely on those that upload their footage to YouTube.

It always amuses me when people do this.

In the last 28 days I've cycled 713 miles, most of which was in central London rush hour traffic.
How many problems have I had with drivers throughout that time? 5. Most of those where just cars going through red lights.
I've probably passed and been passed tens of thousands of cars, buses, vans, lorries and motorbikes in that time frame and I only had an issue with 5 motorists. Not too bad if you ask me.

Actually, it is, Lee.

It seems to me like your online personality has no checks or limits on your behaviour when you get behind a computer. You say the most outrageously offensive crap all the time, and you wouldn't dream of doing that to someone's face. Really don't care for your opinions as posted on here at all.

Ah, the ignore function is even better on this new forum software. Delighted!!

Jeez, children can we calm it down a bit. Greg only wanted to know what kind of camera to buy should he choose to buy one!

The irony, it burns!

Here and here are a couple of ideas.

Nice idea, but video quality leaves a lot to be desired.

That is quite good, Ben!

Thanks. It's not perfect. For one thing the camera only has about 1.5 hours battery life, so I have to charge it every night. On the plus side, it automatically deletes old files as the memory card fills up, so I only have to bother plugging it in to the computer if anything interesting happened - the rest of the time I just have a wall charger near the door that I plug it into.

And as I said, the velcro can be a bit scratchy, but it's obviously not so bad that I can be bothered to do anything about it!!

Words to live by.

That looks interesting. Does that set up annoy you when doing shoulder checks? It looks like it would limit you field of vision.
