Video Camera Incentive Program – Freewheeler Safety

Take advantage of this offer. The Video Incentive Program is open. 

The Spartanburg Freewheeler – Video Camera Incentive Program
The Freewheeler Safety Committee has been reviewing how to most effectively document and communicate unsafe/dangerous events through the use of video cameras.  With the advances in technology, “GoPro” like cameras have become very effective.
 
There a number of Benefits:
Proof – Capturing a Motor Vehicle’s Unsafe Act – a video camera can provide clear documentation – “Proof” (license plate, trucking firm, etc) of the event.  In a recent close call with a truck with an oversized load, the “Proof” allowed communications with the trucking company.  In several other recent dangerous encounters, there was no video cameras available/used which hampered identification and appropriate actions.
Capturing and Sharing the Exciting Moment/Experience – to share with fellow & prospective cyclists.
The Incentive Program – The Freewheeler Safety Committee is looking for ways to encourage the use of video cameras while you are riding.  We recognize that one of the barriers to entry is the cost.  To assist, the Freewheeler Safety Committee is offering a $50 incentive.
