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?

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:

Could be an interesting project! Figuring out how to mount it would be the key... and I assume they can be powered with a rechargeable battery

Edit: The other problem is making it water proof (to some extent), both battery and board.
