I hope those lasers can be turned off before any cyclists take them out, otherwise they will become even more of a hazard on the road than they are at present.

This could be just what I'm looking for, PLEASE can you post some sample footage? does it have any image stabilisation?

Just do a search for ContourHD on youTube. Quite a lot of footage on there. Don't think there is any image stabilisation though. http://www.actioncameras.co.uk/ContourHD_VholdR

Shuflie, these comments are for the product and not for you to vent your dislike for cyclists...we don't mean any harm to you poor car drives!
I have been searching for a lightweight, helmet attachable camera with decent resolution and this may be the solution albeit a little bit pricey. I will check a few more reviews and may buy it for Mountain biking and road biking useage!

There's a Youtube HD clip showing some north shore trails here:

Looks like the chap could have angled the camera upwards a little, but gives a good idea of the image quality. :)
