    Thanks for that Jack, I really enjoyed it (first bike ride I’ve been on for a long time where I haven’t puffed and panted).

    Well that looked more fun than the Freewheel…

    Good luck with the new studios and the show.

    Hi Jack

    I want a camera like yours. What’s the spec?

    Any point and shoot digital camera with a video/sound mode will do the job. The key is how to fit it on the handlebars. Matt Blackburn pointed me in the direction of these.
    Make sure you have a nice big memory card (1-2 GB) as video takes up a lot of space. My camera is a Fuji Finepix F31fd, but as I said most will work fine.

    You might check out Sheldon Brown’s Kodak v570 which he mounted on his handle bars filmed a clip of one of his rides here (you have to scroll down a little ways on the page):

    Apparently its wide angle feature and built in stablizers help make for a smooth mounted camera.

    By the way Jack, your show is excellent.

    I really enjoyed that, I am very impressed with your riding. There’s no place like London!
