Pro tip: Before you give your video to the cops, make sure you only give them the part they need. i.e. not the part where you roll over a stop sign one block earlier.

Can the cops (legally) demand you to give them your footage when they stop you?

I always worry about taping my own demise. One of these days…

that’s because he has a camera pushing it out of the safety zone when for a crash. either way you take risks everyday.

I don’t think It’ll ever be a requirement. Especially if the streets keep getting safer for cyclists.

I definitely see some integrated helmet cams in the future. At least until we can get ocular implants.

PS, is it me or is his helmet dangerously cocked upward?

While I really like the idea of this camera, I’m afraid that in 5 years it will socially be seen as a requirement for riding. For better or worse, we keep adding requirements to certain activities (helmets, lights, seat belts, air bags, GPS, certain clothes, certain shoes, etc).

While the camera is the “gee whiz” item right now, it soon won’t be. It’ll be a requirement that parents/kids/novices will need to buy before they can get into cycling.
