I must be dense, but how does a video camera distract a cyclist? Unless one purchases a special accessory, the GoPro won't even show you what it is recording until you download the data. It just sits there like an unused light on its mount.

I was actually thinking of using it to show people some of the great places we have to ride around here. It turns out that most of the long-time locals hereabouts haven't ridden on some of the nicest cycling roads on offer. I seem to recall you writing that you once spent a summer in this area, so maybe you did a few miles out along the Siuslaw, Smith, Upper Smith, West Fork Smith and North Fork Smith rivers. Sadly, the public land I ride through may be handed over to a quasi-private board over the next few years, so I would like to help as many people enjoy it before it is clear-cut as possible, even if only via video.
