Well its the aspect of crashing.... watching or hearing anyone take a hit like that just makes me cringe. no hard feelings, just remember from now on that bikers are sensitive to that sort of thing, just like a race car driver probably doesnt like watching videos of race crashes.

And now for something completely different...
There is a weekly swim/run series here than runs May - August. For the last few years, I have volunteered to ride lead (think like the moto in bike races) in exchange for free entry for my wife. I thought it would be cool to get some video of the run, so I rigged my camera under my saddle facing backwards. The result was interesting:

Cool video, Mr. Beanz! I couldn't help but think of a nice fresh tomato when I looked at the knee wound. Mighty nice shade of red, that is. If you're lucky it'll scar up nicely! I'm proud of my cycling scars; they're proof I get out and DO things!

You guys are a bunch of poo-seas. What is so disgusting about a few drops of blood? You have never seen an accident? You have never seen blood?

Ive seen plenty of accidents. Thats why i dont need to see any more in a thread that was specifically initiated to show rides that meant something and showed changes in speeds and elevations. You should post your accident videos in an accident video thread, since this is a "ride video thread" not a "crashing video thread."

Team sky training in Amsterdam, apparently the camera in the car is a GoPro HD... according to Michael Barry:
Unfortunately, even pro teams are not immune from crazy people. Closeup of a water bottle hurled from the yellow car:

^ Must have been windy - looked they their wheels were catching some crosswinds; they were pretty twitchy.
The yellow car makes me want to get a cam and record every ride I go on, despite them being slow and uninteresting.

Still working on my mounting system for the road bikes, but here's a mtn bike video I shot last week at Wompatuck State Park. The ride was cut short when I imbedded a twig in my forearm and had to go to the ER.
