I bought a defective GoPro Hero 9 on eBay and this is what happened
A real YouTuber needs quality recording equipment and this includes a good quality action camera. In an effort to upgrade from my old generic one, I recently purchased a used GoPro Hero 9 Black on eBay. The condition was marked as “for parts or repair only” and “not working as intended”. When the price fell below a certain threshold, I decided to go for it.
But was this a good move? What about the additional costs I would incur to make this a functional camera?
Here is a video that was entirely shot on the GoPro Hero 9:

Winter Bike Chronicles 3, New Parts for the Drivetrain, willl they last?
November in Edmonton has been really mild and dry. Will I even need my winter bike at all this season?
Reality is that I’m really lucky to have the opportunity to fix the bike this late in the fall, working outside in my backyard.
This video covers the derailleurs, the shifter cables and the chain. Parts that always seem to wear pretty fast. Are there better alternatives?
I’m sharing my thoughts on that.

Winter Bike Chronicles 2, Reality versus Wishlist
The reality of riding a bicycle through Edmonton winter is harsh. Chemicals that melt the ice for better traction also wreak havoc with the bike and cause corrosion that can ruin your bike.
I’m showing you my new rear wheel and how I prepare it for use on the bike.
Along the way you will see what my wishlist for an improved winter bike looks like.
Here is a video with winter cycling tips: https://youtu.be/jwGQnALesX0?si=zp4Std-qk1RZ3y9H

Fiery Bike Lane Debate with Viewer Inspired Character 🔥
In this video, Jorg Schlagheck is engaging in a heated debate with a guy by the name Rodney, about bike lanes in general, and more specifically Edmonton’s new “Bike Plan” that has received substantial funding in cities’s newest budget.
Rodney Carbonelli is a fictional character, made up from comments that were left by viewers like you. So this is my unique way of responding to negative comments about prioritizing bicycle infrastructure.

Fixing the Front Tire on the Swytch Bike, will it take longer?
When I realized that Barbara’s Swytch Bike had a flat tire on the front wheel, I was not happy as this wheel has a hub motor and extra stuff to remove, like a cable that is permanently attached to the fork.
So just how bad is it to fix a tire on this Swytch Bike? How much extra time will it take? Is it something to worry about on an extended bicycle tour?
Barbara’s flat repair was the perfect opportunity to find out. I timed myself doing it and recorded the whole repair process to share with you.
This video is part of a Swytch Bike playlist:
