probably going the chinese equivalent. A lot of my friends in motorsports get them new for $150-180 and say they work just as well as the GoPros.1

Man...I LOVE this thread.2

This is my fun bike for the past couple of years.

This is my commuter/tourer on a little trip from England back home to Edinburgh:

This ride was a few years ago. God, I miss that bike.
You can see I was committing the mortal sin of using mountain pedals, on a Cervelo for christsake.
This was the first time I'd ever been into the Teanaway. I'd heard a little about it and wanted to explore the place. It was gorgeous and wonderful! I spent the rest of the summer hiking there, just couldn't bring myself to leave for more than a week at a time. It was especially magical the way the bike got my foot in the door to this amazing place.
Anyway, I was back this weekend on another bike, on very nearby roads.
I need to have my brake fluid bled, should see if I can get red housing while they're at it.1 -
Nope, though I usually only slap my cam (a Garmin VIRB, in my case) on during special events and/or races, for example:Am I the only nerd who straps a GoPro on your his/her bike?
Here's vid from a road race last June:

I've got a SJ60001 -
Bikes are awesome!
It never ceases to amaze me the amount of punishment my full sus MTB takes on a regular basis and yet still rides like the day I got it - and that's a few years ago!!

Bikes are one of my favorite things in the world!
Since we're sharing pics of our babies, here are my 3 main ones.
The road bike:
The time trial bike:
and the Cyclocross bike:
I also have a mountain bike but it's just a stock 2014 Specialized Rockhopper Comp. I don't ride it enough.

I'll take the rockhopper off your hands for an extremely discounted price

Agree with the OP. Here's my Giant Seek 1. It's a great city/commuter bike.

That's a sexy bike!
I've thought about mounting my light under the bars like that but it seems like it would be awkward somehow. So, how does it work for you in real life?1 -

Thanks!
That actually isn't a light, that's my Garmin VIRB (it's one of the 1st Gen versions from before they changed the form factor). This pic was actually taken right before the race that I recorded the Criterium video in my post above. It's mounted using one of the K-Edge out-front Garmin/GoPro combo mounts.NorthCascades wrote: »I've thought about mounting my light under the bars like that but it seems like it would be awkward somehow.

I think I'll hang on to her. At least until I get a full-suspension...

I keep going out on my Specialized Roubaix thinking I'll stop somewhere scenic and take a picture of it but then keep riding non stop!2

Do you guys take your high dollar triathlon bikes with CF wheels out for street cruising, or just use them in races? I've read that you have to replace CF wheels as they fade from braking. How quick does it fade? I ride 150-200 miles a week with a lot of braking0

Tri bikes aren't usually allowed in group rides. I'm sure they are awesome to go out on and really pound it for a while.0
-
Why is that? I'm not part of any riding groups, but just wondered about the durability of (I would guess) a thin framed triathlon bike and their high dollar CF shoes that cost more than my bike alone.0

My rocket ship wearing her dancing shoes.
Sweet........true story, I was riding home one night and observed a cyclist on a P3 (aero helmet.... the whole 9 yards) cross the road on the pedestrian crosswalk and proceeded to ride on the sidewalk. I could only shake my head that such a beautiful bike was being ridden by a POB.0 -
They aren't as stable and controllable as a standard road bike. Braking is a bit more difficult as well on them. They are meant for time trials where you ride alone, flat out and on usually less technical, flatter courses.0

I keep up with traffic by jumping on the sidewalk between stop lights so I can go past all of them jammed up, and then jump back out when the street is more clear or moving. lol I probably spend 80% of my time on the sidewalk and have gotten my 7.5 mile commute down to being just 5 minutes slower than if I were to drive it. (if I push myself and do maybe closer to 70% on the street, it could be the same time).

It's not just triathlon bikes that are an issue in group rides - it's the triathlon riders!0
