I have taken the odd picture of my bikes, in the back garden once built up (For insurance purposes only of course), propped against a tree in the woods, at the top of a climb I may have struggled with… I like having the odd record of what my bikes looked like when new/clean, and where I’ve ridden them, I don’t tend to share the pic’s really.
As for helmet cam’s, I use mine once in a blue moon, it looks shite, all shakey and lots of wind noise but I don’t mind, I probably get 20 seconds of “acceptable” footage for every 10 hours I record on it, so far I have accrued maybe 40 second of worthwhile viewing, typically the person in front stacking and me piling into them…
I certainly don’t object to other peoples posted photo’s or videos, I like bikes and I like riding, and I enjoy seeing what others have been up to and what they are riding, it doesn’t have to be beautifully framed or properly focused it’s just a way of sharing their experiences. Plus how much effort is it to scroll on down past the “Bland” pic’s or click back, other forum’ tend to have a specific area to shove picture posts maybe the STW misery squad would benefit from something similar for them to avoid…
Having said that it’s not so odd to expect to see photographs with bikes in on a chuffing bicycle forum is it? You grumpy old ****…..
