Mom is gone back home so i can ride again! Got in a nice 2 hour round trip lunch ride. Got the microphone working and I hate my voice. I managed to delete almost an hour of footage from the first leg while editing 🤦🏻‍♀️. Got that second leg to edit let’s see what comes out of it. That second leg I led the ride and I’m definitely more comfortable leading than the first time I did it around our area. Is so nice to be able to ride but lunch time is now too hot for me. I was a bit gassed when we got home. Well definitely do earlier rides for the next few weeks. Question: if you are using a camera how many times have you switched the position. I’m still not happy with my setup, I may end up doing the “drone” shot and see how that goes.

Thought this might be a decent place to share my thoughts on the placement of car side view mirrors, as most real-life conversations I've had on this are met with slight annoyance. I learned this from Car Talk on public radio, and in the years since it still seems as though 99%+ of drivers do not have their side view mirrors positioned correctly. The point is to eliminate the blind spots between the rear view mirror and your peripheral vision. Nearly everyone has the sides set up to look... directly behind the car. So now, they have 3 rear view mirrors, and the concept of "side view" is lost. If you're right behind a car and you can see their entire face, it's poor placement. We were actually taught this in drivers ed; Barely see the side of your car on each side mirror when sitting straight up in the driver's seat. The correct way to do this (in cars with the wheel/driver on left) is to put your seatbelt on, lean your head allllll the way to the left so you bonk it on the window, and adjust the mirror outward to line up the edge of your car. Then lean allllll the way to the right like you're right in your passenger's face, and adjust the mirror outward to line up the edge of the car. When it's perfect, a car coming up behind you and passing you will perfectly move from the rear view mirror into the side view mirror and into your peripheral vision with zero blind spots.

Here are my submissions. Can't wait to finish out the rest of the videos, pages, and all the back end to make these public. More updates to come. CHECK OUT THE VIDEOS AND UPDATED PAGES HERE CLICK HERE FOR ALL THE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE

Honest question, looking for an honest answer. Why do so many sport bike riders strive for body position and getting a knee down on public streets? Of course there is the group of beginner riders that think that's "just how you do it", but I'm talking about experienced riders that do it going 20mph around an easy curve. (spoiler: The answer I'm looking for is "it's definitely more dangerous, but super fun and I can't help myself!")

Used RESQ and ASM today while at my local Cycle Gear buying some boots. Lady in a car lost control hit a pedestrian ran through a brick retaining wall then into the side of the store.
