“This guy is crazy! When he enters the limits of a city on his roadbike, he accelerates as if he had a death wish instead of slowing down and looking out for pedestrians.”

A friend of mine likes to point this out to others when we talk about our training rides outside of Beijing. Truth is, I do enjoy the thrill of swerving through narrow spaces and narrowly avoiding crashes by being super-aware of everything around me while pumping with all my legs can give to get from A to B in rush-hour choked Beijing.

Recently I found a website made by a guy who likes to tape his adventures with a helmet mounted camera. After downloading some of his videos, I couldn’t help myself but watched them over and over again.

This kind of camera is very high on top of my wishlist. I’d love to see how scary my rides look from a couch perspective.
