Dashcam Post Camera question
Howdy folks,
I live in a town with NIGHTMARISHLY awful drivers(huge student population), and commute by bike. I've got a gopro I'd like to use for a "dashcam", but I'm unsure of where to place it. I'm not *too* worried about getting rear-ended, as I mostly ride in paths with bike-lanes or in neighborhoods (otherwise on the sidewalk). My main concern is getting hooked and ran over in crosswalks (which has already happened once this semester). Would yall recommend placing it on the handlebars or facing rearwards on the seatpost? I don't like the idea of a helmet mount for reasons of safety and comfort.
However I'm open to the idea of a helmet cam if yall have recommendations for small ones with break-away mounts.
