But to my point, this is the primary purpose for the action camera on my bikes. I've seen too many dangerous/hateful drivers put my life and my friends/family lives in peril. At $400, it's a cheap way to improve road safety and save lives. Reading this post from a friend of a friend, or watching a hateful driver scream obscenities while trying to force my wife off the road.... These things reinforce how much value a good action camera has. I've only used my GoPro on commutes, and I want to set up to use it on all my rides. So, I'm looking for a small-form camera with a quick-release to mount on a variety of bikes.
