Canberra Footage: Poor result

Still battling with getting some video of our cycling happening… our tripod attachment did work this time, and with the footage still quite wobbly, we figured our camera is not really fast enough to capture enough detail while filming – probably better stick to still images. The result is as follows…

In other news… Canberra is cold but great for cycling. We did one lap around the (artificial) lake, and enjoyed the extensive bicycle path network. Impressive compared to Sydney, to say the least… we also visited the Kingston Markets in the former bus depot for brunch.

Unfortunately, Richard was a bit unlucky this time battling a few flats… frustrating experience, and hopefully his tubes hold up for the next trip!

Nevertheless, we had a fun trip, with lots of riding and freezing.

Now it’s back to Monday Blues.

Recommended bike photography book

Just stumbled accross this photo book, due to be released. All proceeds will go to charity – download a sample PDF from the website – it’s large (12megs), buth worth it! Just click on the logo towards the right.

By the way – who spots the Greenspeed tandem first?

Last Bike Accessories Ordered

Just ordered the last accessories for our bike. A headlight and the bicycle lock. As usual, I’ve ordered these parts from the States, as conversion rate and local pricing make this a favourable option.

Getting impatient waiting for the bicycle delivery now
