Motovlog

Last updated

A motovlog is a type of video log recorded by a person while riding a motorcycle or any motorized vehicle. The word is a neologism and portmanteau derived from "motorcycle", "video" and "log".

A rider who creates video blogs known as a motorcycle blogger, [1] [2] and the action of making motovlogs is called motovlogging. [2] [3] Most motovloggers upload their videos on YouTube, and the network of motovloggers here is known as the motovloggers community.[ citation needed ]

YouTube

There are many channels on YouTube dedicated to motovlogging. Many motovloggers do not show their face or the license plate of their motorcycle in videos. The British motovlogger, BaronVonGrumble, stated in an interview that anonymity exists to make the videos more mysterious and exciting to watch. [4]

Motovloggers have occasionally captured traffic accidents while riding with the camera running. [5] There are also videos of motovloggers helping out randomly encountered people. [1] [6]

Sometimes motovloggers encounters the road rage and the vlog lands into a digital proof which could be used as an evidence.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cold-weather biking</span>

Cold-weather biking, cold-weather cycling, or winter biking is the use of a bicycle during months when roads and paths are covered with ice, slush and snow. Cold weather cyclists face a number of challenges in near or below freezing temperatures. Urban commuters on city streets may have to deal with "[s]now, slush, salt, and sand", which can cause rust and damage to metal bike components. Slush and ice can jam derailleurs. Some cyclists may bike differently in winter, by "slow[ing] down on turns and brak[ing] gradually" in icy conditions. Gaining traction on snow and ice-covered roads can be difficult. Winter cyclists may use bikes with front and rear fenders, metal studded winter tires and flashing LED lights. Winter cyclists may wear layers of warm clothes and "ea[r], face, and han[d]" coverings may be used. Specialized winter bikes called fatbikes, which have wide, oversized tires that are typically inflated with low pressure, are used in snow trail riding and winter bike competitions.
