The idea seems very cool, but I wonder how much they really are used.
I ride 98% of the time with my GoPro recording. I use the footage about 5% of the time. Typically, I capture something I find funny or exciting; I create a video for most of my races; and when I was commuting to an office daily, it typically captured dangerous drivers. However, my home office arrangement allows me to ride routes and times that avoid most of the car conflicts.
My YouTube channel isn't exciting stuff, but you can get a feel for what gets edited and posted:
