Just thought I should capture great light at around 7pm with a little ride and camcorder. Video here.

very nice vid. good thing it was a mtn bike, the final minute of the vid looks very painful if it was a road..heh

btw what kind of camera was it?

way124 04-10-05 06:29 AM

Thanks :) Indeed, my bike is my SUV. The camera's Panasonic PV-GS200.

nice video, but sorry to be a whiner, and it's 10 times better than I could do. The aerobars gotta go. they block the view too much, specially when you are using them.

I was really impressed, then I realized the 'puter was displaying kph! :P

Still, nice ride.

Kinda hard to lug a 20kg+ (44lbs+) heap of steel past 35Kph (25mph) with just normal sandals :P

Thanks,

way,

heh, thanks for sharing. I just got a new bike and stuck at work.

POV bike riding video is perfect for me right now.

Welcome to Canada. No one uses mph.
Man that is an awesome video!

....still dling...

way124 04-10-05 08:32 PM

Your replies have inspired me to do another video. Sorry, aerobar still there. But I tried to keep my hands off it as much as possible.

Thank you all again :)

Edit: I'm not technically versed but my handlebar is 26mm around the center (which extends about 10cm) and about 22mm the rest. I mail ordered the aerobar, I wasn't even sure if it will fit :D

krazyderek 04-10-05 08:47 PM

you've inspired me, makes me want to make a video of my daily commute, show u guys how not to ride with cars around you :P
you should mix some music in with the sound from the video when doing the titles and stuff...

Do you notice any actual top speed gain in the aero bars?

operator 04-10-05 08:54 PM

Aerobars make you

a) more aero
b) makes your upper body more still
c) which in turn let's you hammer it more

Thank god for aerobars, it's always breezy/windy around here.

Plus, the bike is actually too small for me. It's definitely a must for anything more than 2 minutes of ride.

krazyderek, I actually did use music on my earlier vids, but I think I prefer sans music now.

PriO 04-10-05 10:52 PM

nice girly toss, way124 ;)
anyways, u should be careful leaving the camera out like that, some dude might come by and just snatch it

way124 04-11-05 05:58 AM

Couple of reasons... my helmet wasn't strapped on, didn't want that to fly into the river. Didn't want to push the bike into the river, and definitely don't want to stumble as a result and fly myself into the river ;)

pj7 04-11-05 06:36 AM

Nice to see the Detroit skyline from the other side of the rive. Don't mean to steal your thread, but I love those aerobars, does anyone know if they can be fitted on any bike? I'd love to have a set on my Trek Hybrid but don't know anyhting about anything when it comes to stuff like that, especially since I have grip shifters :(

My aerobar mesurements attached (units in millimetres). It comes with spacers for 22mm hanldebar I believe.
