Got some helmet cam footage of YOUR commute?

Did you notice the RLJ? Blatant or what.

The same guy jumped 2 or 3 in front of me this morning.

My new contour HD has just arrived.

It's heavy, hasn't come with a vented helmet mount and is taking ages to charge.

It had better be worth the wait, I've used a strap off my Hope lights to make a mount for my helmet, after I ordered an official one off the internet :evil:

Anyhoo, I'll try it out on my ride to work later.

You pick the right tags for the video basically, and it's a Contour 1080p running at 720p 60 frames / sec

I can't find the 60 f/s 720p option, I can only see the 30 f/s option .

I've got the button on the camera set to low, is this why ?

I bet it is :roll:

I've set it low because I'm not sure if my laptop can handle 'real hd' .

You need the Easy Edit software:

install that and the options become available - and vented helmet mount is extra...

Even my PC takes its time with the 1280x720@60fps I use but some clips are edited upto 3 times depending on what tweaks I add to the film.

Here's one I've been waiting for a response from. I haven't received it, so I'll make the vid public now:

On the first overtake look at the drain and realise that I pass outside of it without having to change my line - the camera makes the gap I had look larger than it was. The second overtake was even closer

Geees the second one especially was a close call - I hope you get a grovelling apology. Somehow I doubt it.

Had an email or two from the Police - they won't be charging the driver, but will be having a word; which to be fair is as good a result as I would ever hope for.

I may have to put the video of the woman on the phone - if only for the advice I gave her

Kieran_Burns

Oh, go on then....

This the woman on the phone incident that's has been reported, list the errors...

As you said in some other thread - credit for not swearing. The end effect is far better

One of those bloody flying ants hits me in the left eye and I try to 'blink it out' but only make it worse. I completely and utterly missed the lights change.

I felt so guilty, if she had crossed a moment later.....I felt ike going back to the lady to apologise.

A video which highlights the importance of looking both ways before crossing the road and obeying signals.

Damn, that must have hurt. The runner stayed down! Painful lesson to learn.

I reckon I might have seen that coming though - wide open road, runners always catch my eye... who knows.

There I was minding my own business, testing out my newly upgraded chainset/rear mech & cassette when some fuckwit decides on this nice tight overtake on the A11 at Stratford. I tried to catch up with him to tell him what I thought of it but he slipped through the lights at the station - just as they turned red (natch).

That was done on purpose, for kickes. Post the number plate everywhere!

The camera has arrived, did my first commute with it today, just two small things:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9QOAJISEJo

Cox by name......the green van pulled out, seemingly without seeing me.
On the second one, the car was next to my back wheel from the start of the clip, with a clear road. She chose to floor it once there were cars coming the other way, and then had to brake while she was passing because I was so close to the cars in front.
No harm done, just silly. :roll:

I need to sort out the angle (of the dangle) of the mount, it's pointing down at the ground too much.

I'll try it on the frame for the ride home, see how bumpy it is.

And I noticed that I respond to danger by saying "whoa, whoa, whoa...."

Watch out for me on a white Trek road bike.

Nice one, I've seen a couple of white Treks on my travels, give me a nod next time you're passing.

Black and White Scottie, White/Red Spesh helmet.

@MadammeMarie

I would if there was the faintest hint of anything being done about it. BTW I've seen some of your earlier vids, work around the BlueFin Building?

A blue taxi R:Jing in Bristol this afternoon. Looking at the frames where the lights change and when the taxi passes the stop line there are 35 frames which equals over 1 sceond.

Conclusion today to the above clip. Went to the Public Safety Commitee meeting to decide the fate of the driver in the taxi. During the hearing it turns out he has had two SP30 fines and points and claimed not to have not used the road much despite it being one of the main routes into the centre of Bristol and on his route from home to the rank he works, or used to work
The Council decided to suspend his taxi licence for 3 months, though he does have a right to appeal but given the fact that he had a chance to make comment and declined before the punishment was decided I think he won't.

I thougth, the idiot drivers died out. I was wrong...

The Running Man

Just posted this on the How Beautiful is your Commute thread

It's the descent from the top of Bowden Hill into the National Trust village of Lacock. It's a 40 mph plus descent (in the dry) (or sideways on my arse on the winter ice) and swoops past Lacock Abbey where some of the Harry Potter films were shot, and the village proper which has been used as a set for everything from The Cranford Chronicles to Persuasion.

It makes for a good test going up it the other way too!!

I finally went DOWN Bunny Hill:

http://youtu.be/5YnCulz-o-8?hd=1

Only topped it at 40, as I wasn't ready to go full pelt the first time down (plus the road surface at the bottom is not good so I wanted to make sure before going at it like a loony

Mr Plum

Nothing too bad, but I was pissed off with the double whammy of a parallel turn followed by a needless close pass as if to try and make a point - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFVHLvMyorw

Decided to give the legs a bit of a spin along the embankment, on the way back came across quite a few pedestrians who had forgotten the green cross code.

Not working anymore, I was made redundant. But up until March this year I worked at Citi, Citigroup Building, the small one.

Fastest commute home ever on Friday night. Not particularly fast in general, but the light gods were smiling on me

Also two drivers running a zebra crossing

(I'd normally wait longer before moving off but had a bit of a nervy moment as I wasn't sure whether I was going to be rear-ended when I stopped (could hear the car wasn't stopping.))

Nice bottom!
