Yes, That would definitely be more interesting, and more accurate. Because, Not everyone has a cycling buddy with a camera, and not everyone can go 'fast'.

The video may be good for demonstrating cycling on suburban streets with relatively sparse traffic; hardly represents cycling in city traffic.
I was thinking the same thing. Because there are roads around here that 15, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45, which would be great opportunities, if I had a helmet cam. To see how people would react on the various roads.

My only problem would be, not having two cameras', so I could show the traffic behind me, along with the traffic in front of me.
