Calling all Helmet Cam Cyclists

[gaz]

That's a brilliant idea

wish I'd thought of it....

Hahaha i was aware that someone had mentioned something similar. I had already thought of it but hadn't posted, honest.

Well I will have been off work for 5 days by monday, and I'll be off Monday anyway, so despite not having a commute to do I'm going to need to exert some energy so I shall be going for a ride anyway and that'll be my contribution.

 

[Jezston]

OH!

Just a thought, are there other ways all the videos can be linked together, such as perhaps someone does a 'master' video, and all ours are uploaded as 'video responses'?

 

[Jezston]

Also, anyone with links in the media tipped them off about this?

I think at the end of it we need a running tally of:

# Number of contributors
# Number of issue-free rides
# number of close passes
# number of other vehicle related incidents
# number of crashes

I'd like to see something emerge like:


536 contributors
500 issue-free rides
30 close passes
6 of other vehicle related incidents
0 crashes

Not working on monday but will record a bit of whatever ride i do, even if it is just the road on the way to some mtb trails

I will make a playlist with all of the videos in it, it is easier to browse and share than if everyone does a video response to one video.

Just a quicky, more later... But it might be a good idea if every contributor rated their ride overall. Possibly a mark for how enjoyable the ride was, and how bad the worst driving you encountered was. Both out of 10. Could provide an interesting, if somewhat biased stat.

Gaz, I was also planning on adding a page on the blog with a list of videos and links. It could be grouped in a few different ways, depending on what we get.

Oh and I haven't contacted media yet. I thought it might be better for them to know post event. Unless others think otherwise, or have good contacts.

Sounds good.
Jezston posted some good ideas at post #66. something along those lines along with a rating would be pretty good

 

[magnatom]

Aye I saw that. Good stuff.

I'll get a blog post up shortly....

A new blog post is up . Hopefully the power interruptions won't affect your access to CycleChat!

Oh dear; you'll be seeing a lot of blurred images of rain-soaked traffic leaping wildly about in the howling wind from people in this part of the world.

 

[magnatom]

Aye, it is likely to be a wet one for me as well. Mind you, if we can show cycling can be fun in the rain as well, that'd be great!

In fact I've finally got around to putting my new front mudguard on. So bring on the rain!

 

[magnatom]

Right. The final blog post is up before the big day!

Happy cycling and videoing!
