    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.

    This ride was a few years ago. God, I miss that bike. :disappointed: 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.

    Am I the only nerd who straps a GoPro on your his/her bike?
    Nope, though I usually only slap my cam (a Garmin VIRB, in my case) on during special events and/or races, for example:

    Here's vid from a road race last June:

    A criterium last may:

    And a Cyclocross race last October:

    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.

    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?

    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.

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