Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?

I’m using an old GoPro (Hero4) I had lying around, and bought a Kaiser Bass (cheap knock off GoPro) so had front and back covered. Works pretty well, the Kaiser is a bit jankey though.
I’ve previously been recommended these: https://cycliq.com/ but it’s pretty pricey.

Sorry you had to deal with that. I wish motorists were better aware and kinder towards cyclists. These sort of incidents was basically what stopped me from buying an ebike to commute to work. If we could get dedicated and protected bike lanes, that would solve half the problem.
As for camera options, if you are the DIY type, you could make your own setup using a Raspberry Pi. Several blogs out there that have detailed the whole process, such as:

An old GoPro would be a good option, I believe they have the ability to record on a loop.
Something like a GoPro would work I assume?

I’m not a cyclist, but I’ve never noticed someone with both front and back cameras.
Maybe just a helmet cam then?
Rear cameras are usually tucked right under the saddle so they’re pretty hard to spot.
Interesting, I’m going to look out for them now!
That’s, well, thats a bit shit really. Sorry you have to deal with that.
Sorry I don’t have any camera suggestions, maybe someone else will.
