This is the ride home, when not using the bike lane designated for bikes. Soon I'll have up the commute with the bike lane and you'll see why this is actually safer in some cases. Basically people treat the bike lane as an improved parking space so going around said parked cars puts me in front of a speeding vehicle. Therefore why not be one of the speeding vehicles. It's not about proving courage it's about being seen, and when you're in traffic people hate you, but at least they see you to hate you. ;)
@xkakashix12 I use the GoPro setup. It looks like some transformer has melded onto the bike, but it works well. It's a small adhesive bracket, then a small snap and an armiture that the camera ultimately locks onto. The unique angle comes from it being a Dahon Vitesse, so the main tube is low to the ground already.
