Audio recording bike ride
I apologise if this has been covered elsewhere. I did have a look. 2 of us are wanting to create an audio book with our tales of cycling in North Devon and beyond. Not sure what equipment to use. Any ideas would be gratefully received. I do have a Presonus Audiobox to process it but not sure how to record the actual ride to include 2 voices in discussion. Many thanks.

Hi 10Wheels [on my wagon?]
Yes but we were thinking audio only for an audiobook.
I guess this is with a GoPro or similar. Maybe we should use a GoPro and ‘extract’ the audio. Not used one so don’t quite know what is possible.
And where to attach it on a bike to film 2 riders.
Many thanks.
Warm wishes from across the pond

In the 90s, my then-girlfriend and I were working on a bike-touring book, and we wanted to record cues and mileages as we rode (obviously this was way before consumer GPS). I mounted dictation recorders on our handlebars using a couple of hose clamps and rubber sheeting to dampen shocks a bit. These days you could get a utility handlebar mount from Minoura and rig something onto that.
I don't think it would be realistic to try to record two people on one device while riding—I just don't think the technology is there. There are voice recorders with timecode support, so you could import tracks from two devices into audio-editing software and sync the tracks there.
You'll probably want a "windjammer" (one of those fuzzballs that fits over the mic). Ideally, there would be a wireless lav mic with a push-to-talk button so that you could stick the recorder in a back pocket, but as far as I can tell, wireless lav mics that don't require a lot of supporting hardware are uncommon (I've seen exactly one that uses Bluetooth), and they never have PTT buttons anyhow.

Check out the Rode Wireless Go 2. Might be what you're looking for, but do note one very important caveat that this particular product requires clear line of sight for best results.
