The comebacks people throw out is just as dumb as their actions.
Yeah, that's the best description of the issue I've ever heard!
Yeah! I'm kinda thinking that's what happened to your guy as well... note the utter cluelessness of his visage (great photos, BTW), and his memorable remark "Geez... I just got here!" As in, only moments ago, I was enjoying a dreamless sleep... and now I'm in the middle of some kind of a bridge somewhere... how odd....
LOL!!!

Yes! These with guy are from the MD80, the others and the video are from the keychain camera. The image quality is identical, even the files created are named the same. I think both cameras use identical sensors and electronics. The MD80 is easier to operate though, the buttons are better. The image quality is better than the $800 Canon DV cam I owned only like 4 years ago. And for the price, they encourage experimentation since I don't care if I mess up a $15 cam. I may get GoPro some time in the future, but no rush, like I said: I don't have the time to edit videos. The time required to edit videos and get end results was the one thing that always kept me away from video. My old Canon DV was stolen and I never bothered replacing it.

LOL, yeah, the date is wrong, and there is no way to change it on this cheap MD80 camera
The date is correct on the other keychain cam, but the MD80 fits nicely in a helmet vent, no mounting necessary.

Was he all the way over like that the whole time? Not the greatest place to be, but not exactly impeding bike traffic.
Yes, he was, but it doesn't make it any more "right", he was left with no room to maneuver: railing on one side, 20mph bikes on the other. I slowed down and got closer to the rail to let bikes pass me, as he saw me he hugged the railing even more but he didn't stop talking on the phone, and yeah seemed completely unaware of what was going on.
