OK - my first effort at downloading some footage. Not sure if it's going to work or if I have the right hosting website, so apologies if its awful and/or boring. Hopefully, there's some SCR action from last week featuring a recumbent and a messenger, who fought back by flicking bodily fluids at me. Nice.. Two links but the same footage - just seeing whether one has better quality.

First link didnt work but watched the second ok. 4x4 at the end looked a little close. :?

Youtube has a HD option now.

Funny thing is I bet the recumbant wasnt pushing it at all.

Just updated my channel again.A few new vids, some hopefully funny but a couple of no-no's recorded:

I watched the vid and I am concerned that during it you didn't do any rear view checks

Christophe, you need a speedometer on your footage, like police cars do!

Too much weight on his back.

My HQR-2 has a little socket for GPS. I wonder if I could do something like that with my DVR?? :?

Theres a couple of DVRs that work like the Police cars video does. They looked a little expensive though. :oops:

Not as heavy as my rucksack

@Blondie - it would be cool to have the speed on there, but I could spend that kind of money on a Garmin, which would be even cooler.

Had a duel with a scooter yesterday, lasted about 5 miles before he eventually got away. He had the nerve to draft me from Ealing Common to Acton Tram Station, but did a bit of work along the Uxbridge Road before Shepherds Bush...

Very good! 8)

BTW you need a rear cam for picture-in-picture so we could see monkeyboy drafting you.

LOL! Cheap flat camera, make a caddy for it to hang safely on your back, backpack or a rack/pannier bag.

S/h atc3k..? Would the wife agree to that? I use one I bought new last year and hang it off my drops. I need to edit my headwind-tailwind video footage and upload it sometime. I was going to do the PiP thing on that.

Two from this evening's ride home - that old favourite, the pizza guy and a bit of fun with a Porsche. Unfortunately the pizza guy had a brand new Honda 125 (well it was a 58reg) and he was on a mission. Shame I hadn't realised this when I decided to take him on. Normally they have clapped out mopeds in this part of London....

Bit of a guff on the road on Blackfriars Underpass! Glad that had gone by the time I went through.

My God. :shock:

I cannot believe the speed you guys get up to. I'm more than happy to hold between 16-18 on my commute. I'd be the rapidly receding dot on the horizon if I met any of you :oops:

You naughty boy you!!!

I saw the speed sensor at the bottom of the hill at 3:10 - showing 35 in a 30 zone 8)

Nice vid. I think my next purchase is going to be a camera, as there are times recording what is happening could be fun

It's a Sony Cybershot. It's not a helmet cam or anything. I strapped it to the handlebars.

ooops. Maybe I should have edited that out. 35 isn't bad on my 12yr old mtb.

[jealous] Always wanted to set a speed sensor/camera off when passing through just over the limit, guess I'm too small to register [/jealous]

You should be able to import those in sequence into windows movie maker and make a nice little slideshow. Then it will be a video.
