thanks Fred!
I have a Fly 6 for my bike that not only acts as a rear light but has an inbuilt
video cam as well. The device works well, only marred by a drop of water should
it get on the lens, or if the sun is shining directly into it. Here are three
videos of IVCA events which illustrate the quality. No transitions were used –
they’re fairly obvious anyway.
1. Joe Hoare tour. 17th Oct. 2021. [2:55] Wet roads didn’t dampen the day. After
a coffee stop in Summerhill the video ends with a good shot of Evelyn Doyle.
2. Dermot McGrath race. 17th Apr. 2022. [5:16] Green Sheds circuit.
Highlights: (a) The Red group being overtaken by faster ones. (b) Rider catching
up to the Red group from the Grange. (c) Two riders racing through the Reds on
the “inside”. (d) The Finish – always nice to end upright!
3. Gay Farnan tour. 2nd Oct. 2022. [10.04]
No race that Sunday so some riders who would have normally raced turned out for
the tour instead. The video ends after the drag at Dorey’s Forge at Elliot’s
where most of the participants turned towards Summerhill for a coffee stop while
a small group chose to head directly back to Clonee
4. The Trouble with Dogs! – Fred Harte
Going up the drag into Garristown a dog ran at me.
I couldn’t see it as it was either at my right leg
or directly behind me. At one stage it was joined by
another unseen dog that was stirred into action by
the excited barking of the first one. I couldn’t
sprint away, and kept cycling up the drag in the
hope that the “chasing pack” didn’t tear lumps out
of my calf. Only when I got home and looked at the
video did I see the threat. Had I been bitten,
I’d have had hard evidence available.
