Here's a question: do you find that the playback seems to make you look as though you are riding much faster than you really are? I ask because after a recent 'near miss' in my car* I have bought a very cheap dashcam to record my wanderings. This has a very wide angle lens and it seems to increase my apparent speed by about 50%, and makes a car close in front look miles away.

I'm pretty interested in getting a bike cam, and I like the video quality of yours. Now on the 'consider' list. Thanks.

* approaching traffic lights with a light-controlled ped-x, a young lad watched me approach, full eye-contact, and then stepped out when I was about ten feet away. Full emergency stop, ABS, the lot. Lights green for me, red for him, but if I had hit him (or worse) who would have believed a mere motorist against the word of a pedestrian?
