Calling all Helmet Cam Cyclists

[magnatom]

 

[Matthames]

I wish I could take part tomorrow, however I won't be able to do it as I need to go in by train tomorrow Once I get settled in my new job I will start commuting in by bike there.

 

[BSRU]

The cycling gods are having some fun down here, warm and dry but winds gusting over 40mph.

Got my 15 min commute home filmed this AM. Might go for spin later on as well. Nothing too bad to show but lots of slow traffic to pass *smile*

 

[Bassjunkieuk]

Rather fun ride in :-) Had a couple of queries about the cam from other riders (both very brief, I tend not to hang around when lights change ;-)), 1 RLJing car, 1 mobile user, 3 good drivers and only 1 near miss! Overall 8/10 :-)

Lovely weather in Surrey today. Got some nice footage going through an avenue of trees with lots of autumnal leaves.
Will see if anything more worthy comes up this evening.

No cam footage for me this morning, the rain would have destroyed the camera.

Would it be permissible for me to film the same route tomorrow and use this footage?

If not it will have to be next year

I'd give my commute in this morning a 7/10, points dropped due to the wind, and a very close pass by a coach (which will not be on my Cycle Day video)!

Thinking about showing a nice downhill section, where I pass a lot of cars in the bus lane, or through the city and over Blackfriars Bridge, but I'm leaning towards the downhill as the city was actually quite quiet, and wasn't really representative of a typical busy morning.

Probably won't get anything better on the way home, as it's mostly uphill, and I'm slow.

 

[manalog]

I'll give it 8/10 It would have been perfect it wasn't for the 25 MPH Headwind and a poor overtake from a Lorry.

I had a good ride in this morning, although a little slower than usual. Unfortunately I did not quite get the camera angle sussed out so you get to see lots of tarmac.
I'll try and get a better angle on the way home.

One thing that I had not spotted on the road, but did on the video, was that the overtaking van towing a trailer full of fir trees had a different registration plate to the trailer.

Has anyone thought of creating a google maps mashup showing where all the recorded commutes take place?
I've never done a mashup before but am willing to go do some reading up.

I've never done a mashup before but am willing to go do some reading up.

Youtube does allow for adding location details (I normally find it under the "Edit Details" option from the clip when I'm signed in....)
Not sure if it would be practical as the 10 minutes may be multiple segments, maybe just a rough location?
Going from my ride in this morning I think I have about 6mins to play with for this evenings scenic return leg ;-)

Nothing from me either I'm afraid.

First day back on the bike since my "off" last week. I took the MTB at short notice which didnt have the camera mount on it.

Might me in London for the rest of the week too, which will prevent me getting any footage at all.

Oh well, there is always next year.

The commute itself was windy, involved a little bit of filtering and a train journey in-between. No incidents to note.

 

[Matthew_T]

My footage will be this evening i'm afraid. In college at the moment so will go out when I get home. It is bloomin windy here as well!

 

[jonny jeez]

very windy in London today...came to a near standstill on Westminster Bridge and the Mall.
