Default What a wonderful place to ride bike...

A lot of folks do that now. We even have a startup company making rear

Just in case that thing takes off and the day comes for v2.0: I would
buy one in a heartbeat if it could be mounted and forgotten about. i.e.
it could get power from my dynamo.

Even a feature where it got power from my headlight battery and beeped
when voltage dropped below, say, two hours' riding time....

As it is, I've been close to carrying a dash cam a few times, but the
obsessive quality of having to mount it, un-mount it, and charge it have
put me off. But something like the dash cams on my car where I've
almost forgotten they are there? No brainer.... gotta have one.


One of the reasons I wouldn't buy one was because it couldn't be charged
or powered from my dynamo, and the battery life is so short it would
give me the ****s to have to keep charging the damn thing after (or
during) every ride.
