I made a little gadget to measure how close vehicles overtaking me on my bike are.
And I’ve been documenting it a bit to help anyone else who might be interested in making one.
I had an amusing incident on the way to work; I was just waiting for the light for the bike lane to turn green, when a guy coming the opposite direction got confused and almost drove up the bike lane..:
It was obviously a geniune mistake and he apologised as I went past. I smiled at him. Everybody makes mistakes…!
I passed these guys on my way home from work:
Just dressed in their pants and shouting or chanting something.
I haven’t the slightest idea what they were up to, but considering the temperature must have only been about 3°C I’m guessing they got chilly pretty quick…
I thought I’d attach the camer to the GabeyMobile as we went to the library…:
A couple of weeks ago I won a bike camera in a raffle, and I’ve been playing around with it. Today I tried attaching it to the child trailer which I use to drop Gabey off at nursery. In some ways it works a bit better than when I mount it on the handlebars, as being able to see the bike gives it all some context.
It has worked out as a bit of a Tim’s Bum Cam, though.
(It’s sped up by a factor of four…)
