Stop-Motion BikeCam

A few days ago I took my bike out for the first time this Spring. Just for kicks, I built a camera mount for my SLR and attached it to my handlebars. I set the intervalometer on my camera to take a photo every 2 seconds and this stop-motion video is the final result. The camera battery died around mile 15 of the total 17 mile trip but you get the idea of the path we took.

Along the way I met my brother, Grant. He's faster than me but I tried to lead some so the entire video wasn't of his rear.

2) Nice! It kind of makes me sick watching it though.

3) So that's why you won't ride on my handlebars?

4) Safety is my goal. Saw that bumper sticker on the school bus. Awesome.

There's one thing that's perfectly clear: you guys need some bike lanes! Those roads do not look too safe dude. I would say that you need to take a hint from the bus man and make safety your goal. Set up an oval track in your driveway. You can do 17 miles on that. If you need pointers, head down to the Speedway. Those guys can give you some tips (keep turning left).

5) Looks like you need to eat some more Wheaties to beat Grant. On this ride did you go past Bubba's Place?

6) Sweet deal. Looks like you took a few busy roads.

7) I'm with Niki, my eyes are still jumping as I type. And I'm also with Dave that you need bike lanes there! I guess living in MN and OR I have gotten used to bike lanes being everywhere. Those rides are scary! Glad you and Grant are so good on those bikes!!

8) You're killing me. I don't think the weather is going to permit a ride this weekend.

9) This was a very cool video. However, I can't help but worry about your safety on those rodes! Can't they do something so the bikers can be safer?

Your stop motion video would be really cool at a wedding or at a holiday like Thanksgiving. I hope you do more!

10) That's pretty cool.
I agree with LGrant and Niki, I'm kinda dizzy after watching that!

11) Ben, unfortunately most of the roads around here are busy. Rumors are that they are planning a 104-mile bike trail around our local lake.

12) That would be awesome, Denny. Hope they go through with it. The bikers around here have a much easier time in traffic than you guys do!

13) I'm just happy to see you boys wearing safety gear--good role models!
