vibrations?
I'd love a crisp image but I don't really need to make out the car plate number or hood emblem.
I just need to be able to see an oncoming vehicle. Even color is irrelevant.

propping your bike?

So sometimes I'll include a cafe or similar in my ride.

How do you guys prop your bicycle?

Sometimes its windy and even with some strategic maneuvering it could fall over.

Thanks
