Wouldn't it be great for a site to interface all of this cycling footage into a global network, just like photos on google maps, where you could view the most recent video from any road or trail segment and also pan backwards through time? Aside from trip planning etc, if some driver was a habitual offender you could crowd-source tracking his infractions and then you could present them all to law enforcement, or to lawyers in a civil case, or his insurance company etc.
I was thinking initially that we could just have a section of interesting stuff from the commute (like the photos, but with the camera.) legally, i assume that bf.net would have to disallow anything personal (US slander/privacy laws).
a one minute clip of hitting the deer for example, in the other thread, would've been an interesting view (especially from a helmet cam.) something that we could all appreciate, perhaps?
I thought they were inexpensive, like 20USD or something**********??
