Ped sees ContourHD on my helmet & accuses me of being paranoid

I stopped to hook up my Dinotte to its battery pack, and this guy took a little too much interest in my helmet cam. To him, anyone who rides with a camera is "paranoid".

Without helmet cams us northern cyclists wouldn't have all these awesome races, descents, group rides, and when-cars-attack videos to keep us entertained over the winter. :)

@Digitalfiendscom Yup, and us Californians wouldn't have all that awesome climb footage to keep us motivated. I love watching other people's cycling videos.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion...;)

@sw19cam He's certainly entitled to his opinion, but he could have kept that opinion to himself. He didn't have to flap his lips. I don't walk up to strangers and offer unsolicited opinions of things they're doing.

yeah i get mixed reactions on my dash cam. my girlfriend thinks its the stupidest thing ever but most my guy friends think its cool. its not hurting anything and might save your butt one day

[cyclingfun2]

@fattpieceofcrap +1, especially in this day and age. Also, I see some interesting/crazy/weird stuff on my rides, so I like to capture that. This video is proof LOL!

I love that he calls you paranoid yet his first thought about the camera is that of a paranoid nature!

[mrRhwalden]

@cyclingfun2 I'm thinking he needs one for his shopping cart..... That way he can take vids of the cans he's collecting, cause one might not know what he may find in the trash!

He was obviously oblivious to the many positive possibilities of a helmetcam.

HA! That is hilarious!

[cyclingfun2]

@maskofsan1ty I know. I got a kick out of that too! :D
