Smart move (the phone). Just be quick about it. You never know what tomorrow will bring.

I am looking forward to your ride report, @Stefan Mikes :) https://bikepacking.com/routes/kotlina400/

I saw that yesterday. No local price as yet, but the US price is scary enough, plus I do not need the light. I have a Supernova M99 running continuously off the bike's battery. I think I will give this one a miss.

90% safety :)

I suspect that the app for the Osmo is far more developed than the one for the Neo Drone. Interestingly, the prices of the DJI Osmo 4 are in the ballpark with the Asako Brave 8 locally. The Osmo 5 is, however, ~$300 more.

The front camera on the bike, as opposed to the rear of the bike. Daytime (as opposed to nighttime) riding on roads, i.e., in traffic. For example, commuting and local recreational riding in suburban/metro localities.

I purchased a DJI drone, the cheapest one and found the app a real pain. Not a sophisticated design, IMO. Anyway, I moved the drone on. Turns out that it is not my thing.

Still, using them? A later model Akaso does look interesting I must say.

I have seen those posts which I have found informative. I would, however, prefer a camera without a case which I can 'lock' to the bike with a security bolt to save having to remove it all the time.

Thanks. I am curious about your reasoning for 4k 60fps, which I assume is demanding for battery life. Maybe less of an issue in daily traffic riding, I guess. Looking at the Akaso Brave models, for example, they have a separate charger (USB) plus come with two batteries out of the box. I assume...

If you were looking to buy an action camera for the front of the bike today, its primary use would be daytime riding on the road, and its secondary use would be capturing footage of interesting bikepacking/touring rides. What specific features/specifications would you consider a minimum? I am...

An interesting discussion of the impact of US traffic on bicycle manufacturing by Jan Heine. Also interesting to see where components are predominately made currently. Read more at https://www.renehersecycles.com/bikes-in-the-age-of-tariffs/

You mean I cannot ride it on the road? O no

Eco and sometimes Tour on my SuperCharger 2.

E-bikes are allowed on our metro trains here in Perth as well.

This is interesting. I had not considered using AI to assist with such a comparison ... now I can see myself doing a phone comparison, an action camera comparison and an active watch comparison just to get started :)

Thanks for the reminder that I need to sort this out with school starting in two weeks. Reading https://thebestbikelock.com/best-u-lock/abus-granit-x-plus-540-review/ put me off the Abus, but your suggestion was handy for sizing information. So, having read further at The Best Bike Lock, I have...

I do but not a smart system.

I have considered them, but they may be overkill for me here in Perth as where I will be locking up the bike is already semi-secured plus the excess on my insurance is less than the price of the lock. Other than touring (low risk) I do not tend to leave the bike unattended for other than maybe...
