I need a cheap way to document bicycle rides for the purpose of documenting safety hazards. This looks ideal for that purpose.

When I got mine, it was completely non functional. Anytime I tried to turn it on, it flashed one light, then turned it off. I plugged it into my computer to see if it recorded anything, and it didn't even try to install device driver software. It's a waste of money if you ask me.

We used it to attach to rides at Disneyland and that worked out great. Btw with gopro. Depends on how heavy and how rough the ride is, it may work ok.

It would work for bicycling though I would recommend getting yellow lens for dusk since that sharpens colors and shapes in low light.

Yes I think so but I have not used it that way yet. I just went to my bike to see if I could strap it to the handlebars and I was able to. So I think it would work. It is really comfortable to wear on my arm and that is how I use it to date, but I too would like to be able to see the map while biking to avoid a wrong turn. An 8 mile route turned into 15 miles because I couldn't see it.

No, I wish I could find one. I actually owned the CycleOps 410 for a couple of weeks. Good software, sturdy and very adjustable. Unfortunately the drivetrain felt like cheap chinese bearings filled with sand. CycleOps did honor the warranty by driving out to my place (over 100 miles) and picking up the bike.The biggest problems with the ProForm are with the software. They've made some improvements lately but it's taken them over a year to make any progress and they have a long, long way to go. They just don't seem to understand physics and simulation. They can't even get dates correct. At least the bike is smooth feeling. No, I wish I could find one. I actually owned the CycleOps 410 for a couple of weeks.

I am using a Mefoto Road trip in carbon fiber. It is light and really compact. There is a smaller version and a larger version available from them also.

Yes you can take videos. I don't think it will stand up to the forces of BMXing, though. The clip works for biking around town on the occasional bump in the road. Jumps and stuff are probably beyond what it will hold.

Not exactly sure since I've never had a folder...but as long as the rear wheel makeup is the same as a rigid frame bike then it should be just fine.

If you're a heavy-duty cyclist, they have products specifically for cycling where you can enter the bike's weight and all sorts of other data, but as you've already discovered this can also be used for cycling. We've also used ours on hikes to measure how far we've walked. Can have some trouble getting a signal in some areas of the woods, though.

I thought so. The mph it's always displayed and the various modes are in smaller font. If your working on keeping a pace or working up to one, this gives you an accurate measure. If you don't need cadence there are cheaper models. For another 10 bucks this is a good feature and this is one of the cheapest computers with cadence. Add solid product too.

In theory yes, but it would depend how your chair is made. I would guess some kind of fabrication may need to be done to mount the device. If all the above is satisfied then yes it could track your trips very well. I use this on bike and had no issues and I like it a lot.I also agree with Mr. Nichols answer.

This Tr-Pod would be good for that purpose. it is ajustable for on how high for what you need it for. I Have a cannon video camera that i use on a tripod when i do my video for youtube as well

You can download maps for it from the us topographic service. I think It would serve your needs

Make a duck tape sleeve and attach it to your bike with a velcro strap. Depending on the bike the inside of the stem might be a good mount location.

I would say it would be secure enough for this. the thing that MIGHT be a concern for photo equipment would be that the wheels/tires are not pneumatic, therefore over rough surfaces there might a good bit of vibration. hopes this helps

If you use foam tape, you can build uo the surface to allow adequate support. We used that on my bike with great success. My only caution is watch the battery life. Don't leave your unit turned on when you store your bike! The system could use a little design tweaking, but it is a pretty good device for biking safety.
