What a wonderful place to ride bike...

Strap it to your helmet or wherever and record what happens. Besides using rechargeable batteries, it costs nothing. If you're in a group with several riders doing so, the evidence will be that much more persuasive. |

If you're in a group with several riders doing so, the evidence will be that much more persuasive. I've found, and reported here before, that just fitting the video camera to the rear rack keeps the SUVs further off my back in the narrower ways, and stops them using the horn and racing the engine to intimidate me. The best cameras for this purpose are ones that as a whole are lens-shaped, with a flip-out screen; these clearly work better than the flat type like the Kodak Zx1 (a cheap waterresistant sports camera I like because you can buy a shockproof tyre-tread cover for it which makes it just about indestructible).

In NSW, there were 14 dead cyclists from a total of 339 dead road users. http://roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov....dex.html?tab=5 A little over 4%. I think the 2.9% is probably correct for the entire country. -- JS |
