View Full Version : My camera has a mind of its own

I have a few (male) friends whose sense of humor is every bit as warped as mine:D They've been wanting me to upload this to YouTube for months, but I totally forgot about it, plus I was a bit hesitant to do so at first. I told one of them about Bike Forums and asked him if he was sure I wouldn't get banned for posting this here, since he's been on the net much longer than me and I figured he would know. He said no. Now if this is a violation of the TOS please let me know immediately and I will remove it.

What happened is, I had just descended Donner Pass Road and was riding through a bumpy gas station parking lot. My camera was still recording and started to swivel in the handlebar mount. I didn't notice it until I stopped. Well, check out where the camera decided to come to rest:roflmao2:

OK, so when I read the OP I was expecting to see a guy's crotch but the alternate gender 'funny view' was equally funny - right up to the last seconds of the film when I choked on my drink here.

Brilliant! Comic timing FTW, even if completely unintentional.

That made my morning. :D Excellent! I also like that at the very end, when you correct the camera position, it's pointing at a toilet.

I don't get it.
Like I said in the OP and the video description, I had just descended a mountain and was riding through a bumpy gas station parking lot. My camera was attached to my bike on a handlebar mount, and it loosened and started to swivel in the mount. I was unaware of this until I stopped the bike. Just look at where the camera decided to stop moving:lol:

To everyone else, thanks:D:lol:

Why would that violate TOS? If you were in a sports bra only maybe... I thought it was funny though.

I thought that someone who is too uptight might complain. Looks like my worries were unfounded though:D

If posting the Polish National Cycling team isn't a violation of the TOS, then this can't be....:thumb:

I was out riding with friends on a beautiful day, and we were watching the female runners for the same effect your video shows. One guy said "I love fitness women".

I know it's not quite the same, but I do enjoy watching male cyclists climb, especially if I can hear their heavy brea...ok, I'll shut up now!:D:p

Then you would love to climb behind me, you can hear my huffing and puffing about a mile back.

Hmm, I wonder if that's what happened to me yesterday. I ride my road bike with a Take-A-Look eyeglass mirror, and I noticed a rider come up slowly behind me on a climb. He sat there for quite a while before passing. Maybe he liked my heavy breathing:lol:

Too bad I'm not a Strong Climber yet. I could have stayed behind him and had a little entertainment:D:lol:

I am so impressed with you girl. You can laugh at yourself and share with us to enjoy and enjoy I did! You are one fantastic gal. I bet you are so much fun to ride with. How do you manage to ride by yourself so much. You are definately one to cherish. If I were nearby, uh well you know. ;-)
Thanks again for sharing what happens to you on your rides good and not so much so. I so look forward to all your post.

Thank you:) I have been riding solo for so many years I guess I'm just used to it, being car-light and using bicycles almost daily. Sometimes it would be nice to ride with others, but honestly, I'm a bit intimidated by all the super-fast strong climber types that pass me on long climbs. If I rode in the clubs they frequent it wouldn't be any fun, and I would just be holding them up:(

As far as weight, on Monday I weighed 160, but today I must have gained some water weight back as I weighed 162 again. I really only think it's healthy for me to lose no more than 1 or 2 pounds a week. More than that and I will start to worry that I'm losing muscle. Not good when you're trying to become a Strong Climber:D
