Failure to control their dog. Simples!

You could have been knocked off your bike and injured, and they would have been held responsible.

The only caveat being whether bikes are allowed on that pathway, Which I don't know.

It's a shared pathway. Live and let live and all that. I have no problem with doggy hiccups, as you know David. I'm always prepared to forgive them. However, a simple "Sorry" is always nice to hear, and I don't even expect that. Some people can't do that, no matter what. They were obviously not happy that they'd dropped the ball. So, as far as she was concerned, I had to share some of the blame.

Any slower and I reckon that I'd have hit that dog. That's when the trouble begins and that's when the video would save me from a big vet's bill.

I now wear a helmet cam and I do feel as if get more consideration from other road users... mainly

Ah yes, Billy. He turned out lovely didn't he. Feel free to hijack it at anytime. The T-Bar's a free country.

Jet's a month younger than Billy. 13/12 is his birthday. Cheers for the pic.

£6 vs £50. Suspension seat-posts compared. Do you think my ass might go viral?

looks a bit saggy to me...

I've got the cheap suspension post version, which do you prefer?

Out of the two, I've no real preference. They both work well at their intended role. The expensive one is adjustable and you can buy springs to suit your weight. So, if you're ultra light or heavy, the expensive one is more appropriate to your needs. The cheap one suits me fine. The expensive one goes back and downwards, not just downwards.

. David you may wish to rethink the helmet cam . I had a very interesting conversation with my physio recently. Being a keen skier he told me that he spoke to one of the first people to reach and treat Micheal Schumacher after his accident off piste . Apparently the reason his injuries were so serious was due to a helmet camera which pierced his ski helmet and caused the head injury he is still recovering from . Just be aware ! John

The thing that I've always thought about having such protrusions on your helmet is that, once your flying through the air, in an unplanned manor, there is the possibility that upon landing, the risk on breaking your neck is greatly increased, due to the afore mentioned protrusion catching on something, twisting the neck more before final impact.
I realise that most of these things would probably break off but, has every brand & model of camera mounting been tested & certified in combination with every brand & model of helmet?
