Calling all Helmet Cam Cyclists

I really do like this one, so peaceful, no rush, must get an ipod & play that song

By speeding up the longer, uneventful parts I managed to squeeze my entire 11.5 mile round trip into just under 10 minutes and have submitted it.

You need to check more when moving in and out of the bus lane. And you jumped a red light..

Hello chaps,

Avid reader, light poster. Had my Contour GPS camera for a while, and when I first put it on a while ago I noticed it changed my riding style, and not in a good way. I never felt comfortable with it, so removed it from the helmet and instead used it for my skiing / snowboarding and mountain biking.

Now I feel much better without it on, and would say my daily commute from just Clapham to Canary Wharf is mostly without major incidence. Every day there's always something relatively minor, but nowadays I don't let it get to me. Instead, I just brush it off and keep on my jolly way.

But in community spirit donned it back on Monday and got a few various clips uploaded (first time I've uploaded) with my main one being on Kennington road (can be quite a scramble)

Other clips from the day can be found on my channel. Nothing too exciting, but hopefully gives someone who's thinking of cycling a reasonable insight to a commuting typical day. There's a bit of wobble in the camera (and probably me!), so some tips to get to improve it would be appreciated.

Enjoying the other videos.

The first 15 videos have now been linked on the Cycle Video Day website. I'm not even half way through yet, and I know there are more videos to come (mine included!!).

I'll try and link more tomorrow night! I have an ironing to do and bed is calling!

I've created a youtube playlist for the videos as well. working my way through them, but like magnatom not had time to go through them all yet.

Why aren't you posting on youtube
Magnatom is putting a good list on the website. that will more than likely get passed around more than the playlist link.

Why aren't you posting on youtube

Simple. Vimeo allows vids with music and no hassle about copyright - county blocking and added adverts - that youtube does. And youtube wasn't a requirement of entry!

Whoops.

Edited up my video last night but didn't get time to render and upload it ... and forgot to tonight. Will make sure I do tomorrow!
