Title: Went for a bike ride again today - Video included
Post by: Radical Plato on January 18, 2016, 10:20:15 PM
Since I have been banned for 30 days from facebook for trolling angry lesbians I now have to rely on my fellow getbiggers for likes and comments on my life activities.  I rode today to a suburban shopping centre, anyone interested in Melbourne Australia, this footage will give you an idea of the typical suburb.

Thanks Dave.  Yeah the Old woman with the trolley cart was holding an umbrella, I was like WTF it was 34 degrees celsius, abou 94 deg fahrenheit, dry as a bone.  Maybe she was worried about sunburn, I don't know.  Just thought it was odd.

What type of bike were you riding? and did you really chain it up and go inside the mall? that tells me that the bike isn't that valuable to you.

I have two bikes but this one is a Cannondale Quick CX, nothing fancy but does the job.  I wouldn't ride an expensive bike to the shops, to many thieves around.  And yeah I did go shopping after locking the bike up.  And I use two locks actually, an onguard 6ft cable lock and an abus u-lock mini.  Doesn't make too much difference, a dedicated thief with a battery operated grinder could get these off in under three minutes.  It's a pretty high traffic area and they have CCTV footage.  I also use the Sheldon Brown bike locking technique.  But what are you going to do, if it gets stolen it gets stolen, I don't want excuses not to ride.

If you're banned from facebook, you could just let us post stuff on it, and then give you likes?  Just a thought, if you're up for it?   :)

You don't use facebook OB1?  I used  to think it was a waste of time, but I have family overseas and an elderly Mother I can easily communicate and share things with.  I can see how it sneaks up on you and kind of becomes addictive, like GETBIG.  Except I will always prefer GETBIG because of it's lack of political correctness, which is really starting to take over the Internet as well.

No, i never have.
In any group I have always been the one without fakebook.
A lot of girls wanted me to sign up but who cares what they want.

Yeah I know some addicts. Sad.

Well there are dozens of other services.
If all fails there still is email.

Plato! Great rides and wonderful to see them on video!

During any of your bikerides, did you ever ride past some flotsam and jetsam that shouted "What You?!" towards you?

Nice bike, keep up the hard work..    I would never let any of my bikes out of my sites.  I had a couple or road bikes and one 29er

I am actually thinking about getting a GoPro Black but the battery is only good for 2-3 hours.  During the summer my weekend rides are over 4 hours.

Yeah, it is always a risk locking your bike.  And I use the sony action cam, and none of them have very good battery life.  The Sony is also 2-3 hours but I have two of them, so you can carry a second one for extended use if you need to.  4 hours is a good ride, I am building up my hours, hopefully today I can get out, it is the middle of summer but there has been some patches of rain today,

I suspect you are joking, but the left hand side of the road is the right side of the road in Australia.

I have 2 x Sony HDR-AS20 action cam. (I just picked up a second one for $95 AUD from EBAY, the seller had used it once, virtually brand new)  For this video I used a handlebar mount.  I have a helmet mount but prefer the handlebar mount as it stays aimed at the road ahead.  Obviously with the helmet mount the camera goes wherever your head does.  I also have a chest harness which I have used on trail walks and stuff, this is pretty good, but can get sweaty and uncomfortable for extended periods.  I am a bit of a geek, so I find it fun playing around with this stuff.
