You'd think by now, someone would have invented a useful gadget to let you see behind easily having seen some of these headcam video's, it's clear the riders often don't have a clue what's safe Edited November 16, 2022 by fools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a personal note and the people I frequent with we are all riders of a high standard and my lights cost me over £200 but it is money well spent. Now bad motorists easily out way bad cyclists and that is a fact 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a good cyclist who stops at lights and obeys all road laws like cars have to do I'm afraid I rarely come across a dangerous cyclist but I come across dangerous drivers everyday. Some motorist's have not got any time for cyclist's and they show it by getting to close, being abusive or simply just cutting you off. Cyclist's aren't perfect we all make mistakes but my camera will show who is to blame and that is what they are for, keeping cyclist's safe from rouge drivers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
