Calling all Helmet Cam Cyclists

[BSRU]

It's probably the same logic as stating speed camera's cause motorists to speed.

A suggestion...

Why not do it on 12th November and link in with 'Britain in a Day'

My as well chip in my support here as the thread on a certain other cycling related website seems to be D-E-A-D ;-)
As I think I already mentioned on the blog I'm certainly up for taking part and coincidentally I'm "conveniently" working at a location that means I can get a good "chalk and cheese" type video at the end that should be around 10 minutes long!

As long as the weather is good I should be able to get about 4 minutes of me showing that bikes aren't that much slower then cars as I head from Tower Bridge along The Highway to the Narrow Street turn-off in the morning before a nice serene car-free ride alongside the Thames and some canals for the return leg in the evening :-D

 

[cloggsy]

I'm in

 

[manalog]

Count me in too.

Damn you Maggers and your bright ideas!!!

...I've ridden in every day this week and am knackered, its friday night, I'll be working late, theres a strong wind, it'll be dark by the time I leave...and I have a motorcycle in the car park downstairs calling to me.

But I HAVE to ride home so that I have the pushbike for Monday.

Sigh...

its gonna be a slow ride home tonight I can tell you

 

[magnatom]

It'll be worth it.

To anyone who doesn't have a commute, as long as you go for a ride on some roads, that'll count.

I think we should have quite a few videos. It's gone international.....

That make the whole thing worthwhile already.

What's the story?

I just found a second wind and felt like I was flying along. I dropped into my LBS and pumped up the tyres too as they both felt a bit squidgy and I also had the indexing serviced on Wednesday...the first time since I picked her up from the shop (so her cables have just settled in) and ...Bingo...it all just came together.

For once, I was that frustrating chap that spins past you whilst you are slogging into your 19th mile in the wind.

Funny thing tho, as I was just typing this I just got a MASSIVE cramp in my thigh (the rear) and had to jump up and dance about a bit whilst swearing and knocking my keyboard flying, the kids thought I was having a stroke!!

 

[magnatom]

Brilliant! We all have days like that and its a joy when it happens. Let's hope Monday is one that as well.

I suggest we all post using the same video name
Cycle Video Day 2011

There's that strange Bristol person whose cycling is rather odd, I don't think even he looks to get deliberately driven into, who did you have in mind? Just a general airy "feeling"?

Feelings.

Nothing more than feelings.

Feeeeeeeeelings!

Whoah whoah woah feeeeelings!

Am i being talked about again? maybe I`m as infamous as Magnatom, I will be using all five cams on Monday but they will be boring as I have been a good boy lately. (I`ve been called a lot of things but "strange" is a new one & my cycling odd?)

That's a brilliant idea

wish I'd thought of it....
