I have it mounted just behind the stem on a custom ball mount. This allows me to fine tune where the camera is pointed.Quote:

Here's an example of the funny things pedestrians say to me as I approach. This was on last night's ride. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_U_NI9Lmlo
Very cool video. I agree with Hi Ho Silver, the mounting of the camera really makes the video interesting. I also use the VIO but it is the POV.1Quote:

Well, I ride a Worksman Port-O-Trike around town, which is a little faster than most larger adult trikes. I may have been going 12-13 mph. I don't have a computer on that bike, so I'm just guessing at the speed.Quote:

Another cool mountain bike video
That's some nice singletrack you've got there! It reminds me of our Salmon Falls trail here in NorCal. Back in the good old days when I had a properly fitting mtb I used to ride that trail often.
I really should get another mtb, especially now that I've got a decent helmet camera.
Nice, as a roadie, I enjoyed and envied the long road descent :D of the other video.Quote:

Thank you. :) I noticed the same thing with the Garmin. I don't understand why it happened in a wide open area with no trees to interfere with the satellite signal. Normally I get that when I ride through heavily forested areas. On my "Slug Gulch Road climb 9-11-11" video, the speed reading dropped down to 0 as I accelerated into a switchback.
I love the reactions I get when I ride an adult trike at a good clip! :D Here's a pedestrian at a bus stop cheering me on as I approach: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqcUIvuy3KA
OK, got home from vacation and fired up the external drive. Where's that video? Had to recreate it! :rolleyes:
I hope this was worth the wait ;)

The best part is about 45-55 seconds in.
I like that camera angle, especially with the spinning wheel. I also like the fact that it's raw footage. Most music on cycling videos is hit or miss. I end up muting more often than not. IMHO raw is the best because you can hear the gear shifting, other bike sounds, nature sounds, and people talking (and for climbing videos, the effort the rider is putting into the climb ;)).
:44 is what happens to me on a typical ride. :D Was that a "victory salute" he did at :47? If so, I hope he wasn't doing it to be a jerk.
No. We both thought that car passed us too closely. That was him cussing him out. If I could ride no-handed, I might have also :pQuote:

We have a 3 foot law, but you can see what good that does when the drivers don't know or don't care.
True, what's yet another law in this state. :p You shouldn't have to legislate common sense.
With my son, I held out 3' and, don't know about the rest of you, but I'm still not comfortable having 3000+ lbs whizzing by me that close. Wish they would have made it more like 5' at least.
Okay...actually of ME cycling...as opposed to my riding, and filming outwards.
I recently had a bike fitting of my TT bike (bought used), and DH got me new wheels/tires/cassette for my b'day. I have a race coming up on Sunday, so I'll try getting a few miles on the new wheels before then.
Bike is a 2008-ish Cervelo P2C. Wheels are 2011 Bontrager Aura 5's. Tires are Michelin ProRace3. Vocals by DH. An aero helmet is on the Christmas wish list! :)

Your position on the bike looks great! Nice vertical arms, nice flat backQuote:

7rider you look fast and cool on the bike ;)
luv2climb are those uphills? You are going at a good pace :)
Thank you. :) Yes, all uphill. I posted his footage of me descending earlier in the thread.Quote:

We're having a bit of an Indian Summer here in the UK . The light was lovely a couple of nights ago on the Promenade. I loved how big my wheels looked in the shadow.

Nice videos all. Really enjoying this thread – both the rides and the creativity. Thanks bellissima for starting it. The mountain biking ones make me wonder if it's too late for me to learn. I reckon it is but it's fun to watch. Dr. Doo, I like it. It's been a gorgeous week of sunshine 'down south'.
That is cool! That would make a great photo!Quote:

@Dr.Doo the shadow looks very cool :)
OK, here's a tiny taste of MTB on my rigid Rockhopper with 26x1.95 Specialized Hemisphere tires pumped up to 65 psi for the road ride I took before discovering this bit of singletrack alongside the road: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAI4NIRDE3A
Here's the road climbs, with GPS data overlay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al1vswPR_60
My husband http://ilchovbair.com/album/1#prettyPhoto[pp_gal_v1]/1/ made a video at my last XCO race.
