I bought a cheap video camera with helmet and handlebar mount, the picture is a bit a dodgy but watchable and battery life is poor but long enough for my commute so upgrading wouldn't solve what's on my mind which is....... is there any point?
I don't see enough traffic to film other peoples mishaps and nothing (and hopefully won't) really happens to me as I live in a smallish town that doesn't really have road rage and massive congestion problems.
So I often delete the footage without even watching it and sometimes I'm almost hoping for a severe near miss on an island so I can post it on here and be all indignant about it....
Have others tried it and thought the same or do you get a sense of security and safety by having a black-box-ride-recorder strapped to their head.
(please don't think I'm dissing cycle cammers in large cities where it probably has a use its just if I saved it all to DVD I would have hours of near identical boring footage)
