    I live in the Netherlands and we're so blessed with a gorgeous and unique infrastructure. It's great for training, but for climbing I need to go to Belgium

    I started riding my bike at the BMX track with my kids 3 days a week. Love it! us0p218pfpwj.jpeg

    OMG! I LOVE this picture! So tired of seeing pictures of bmx parks that make you think you have to be a 13 year old boy to use it. Thanks for sharing it - you made my day.

    You ever see a trials competition? Those guys are amazing. There used to be a festival near me with a trials comp in the woods on crazy rock features. Really cool stuff to see. Here's a link to a video I took back in 2009

    Am I the only nerd who straps a GoPro on your his/her bike?

    Yea, the family cruisers. Ride a 40 year old Schwinn and then getting on the Giant Propel makes my road bike feel like it's about 3 lbs. lol

    No I wear mine sometimes. Here is a video I took riding Porcupine Rim Trail in Moab, UT 3 years ago

    At about the 1minute I adjust the camera for a better angle

    Some of you guys have some awesome bikes. My road bike isn't an aero triathlon bike or anything, but its decently lightweight CF. (pics in my instagram posted in my profile description). I hope to buy both a new hard tail mountain bike and a dual suspension downhill bike after the winter.

    Gotta start saving up for snowboarding season :)

    I have a GoPro and use it occasionally - mainly to record fun bits when mountain biking though. I did record a couple of my road bike rides which I then set to music and then played back when on the turbo trainer during the winter though.

    I really need a GoPro. I have cars pull out in front of my path on my ride home everyday and I swerve around them, missing them within inches. I know one day I'm gonna nail one of them and flip over their car.

    A Bicycle is a curious piece of machinery. It's the only mode of transportation that it's passenger is also it's engine.

    Rowing boat?

    A boat is a machine? I guess it depends what you're calling a machine.

    The oars are as they are a lever! B)

    OP, I've been in love with cycling since I bought my first piece of junk $5 used bike when I was a kid. Bought my first road bike (a 3,000,000 pound steel framed Sekine) in the '70s and haven't looked back.

    Look into a Refurbished unit via eBay or Amazon. I picked up a Refurb Hero 3 Silver for about $200.00

    It does a decent job for the price. Here is a sample from different POVs and visual settings. All Filmed on the same Camera
