New technology at least it is for me.

After doing the Blue Ridge Breakaway bicycle ride I regretted not being able to take more photographs of the ride. I didn't stop to take any photo pictures because I was riding as hard as I could.

I saw on Facebook about a camera that could be  mounted on a bicycle to take videos and photographs. I had to have one and so off to REI to buy one. It is a  very small camera that almost looks more like a spy camera but it it a awesome camera.  It can be mounted almost anywhere on a bicycle being it has a wide angle lens it gets a lot of the surrounding it the pictures. 

The camera is a GoPro hero 2 and now I can video my rides. I also have wanted away to photograph cars that cuts me off or nearly hitting me so I could get there tag number to report them. Now I can and that is good. Last summer when I was hit by a truck I wish I could have had the camera then to record the incident. Thank to the Lord I was not hurt but only stunned.

I will try and post a video on my blog of my fist bicycle ride. It is a short video of me climbing a steep hill leading to my house. Hope it works.
