I tested out 6 different camera positions for my bicycle.
Handlebar
Rear Triangle
Downtube Facing Front
Downtube Face Back
Shock Mount
Extender Stick Mount
I used two cameras for this test, the Sony FDR X3000 and the GoPro Hero 8. The GoPro has better colors and stabilization.
Anyway, give me a thumbs up if you like the video, at least it'll give me some encouragement.

I have been planning to swop out the 700c wheels on the Marin Gestalt 2 for a 650b mountain bike wheels with 2.1 tires, and today I tried to attempt just that.
Unfortunately, the rear triangle wouldn't allow such fat tires, so I tried it with 650b in the front and 700c in the rear, I'm not new to "mullet" style bikes, I did that when I was a kid 40 years ago.
Anyway, I like the idea of fat 650b on a road/gravel bike, now I just have to find the right frame to realize this project.

Isan Tour: Cycling from Pak Chong to Sikhiu
The trip starts with a ride through Pak Chong town heading northeast as I follow the railway track to pass Lam Takhlong Dam to Sikhiu via Khlong Pai.
The plan is to follow the dual track & high speed train construction from Bangkok to Nong Khai, before it crosses the Mekong River into Laos and connects with the Lao railway network from Vientiane, the capital of Lao, and then traveling north to Yunnan China.
Each stretch is approximately 50 kilometers, mostly dirt trails, and not limited conveniences such as shops & restaurants along the way to refuel yourself with.
First part of the trip can be found in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUUa6jk3pHc&list=PL9PjV8w2nzCO3LGZIRTKV_Jh2JMNLLhn5&index=32
Hope you enjoy the video.

A get off your ass and ride your bike day basically sums up this video. When you've been on your computer working all week, it's nice to finally take your bike out of the storeroom and ride in town, squeezing in & out of traffic.
Bangkok is a pretty wild city in more ways than one, cycling ups your adrenaline, a bit like viagra does the job for the dysfunctional. Call me crazy, call me suicidal, but it's better than sitting at the pc all day.
