As technology thrusts forward into the future the ways you are able to capture your cycling tour have become endless. Fifty years ago the humble cycle tourist made do sending the occasional postcard, sketching the landscape and perhaps taking a few photos if he/she could be bothered to carry film roll. Today it seems there are 101 ways to record your trip.
HD video comes as standard in most mobile telephones. WiFi internet connections are as ubiquitous as plugholes without plugs and millions of digital images are snapped every second. Where does all this digital material end up? On some of my trips I have carried a small video recorder and below are links to some of my memories.
