I just posted variations of this to the GoPro camera Facebook Group and have written GoPro and KGO about the following:
I am a road bicyclist and I am livid.
Tonight (11:00 pm Oct. 31) I saw the clip on Channel 7 featuring KGO TVs Richard Hart and GoPro founder Nick Woodman. Woodman was taking Hart on a high speed drive. They drove a Lotus Exige at very high speed around Half Moon Bay on some of the back roads we ride our bikes on. They were showing how the GoPro camera can be used to record such activities. They were driving like idiots and talking about the camera. Every time they raced around a curve I was cringing and thinking what if one of us had been around that curve!
That is not okay!
I told my wife and she said, if they had hit a bicyclist, at least they would have had good pictures of it!
We are GoPro's potential customers and KGO's audience and we deserve better.
In my opinion it is really bad for Woodman and Hart to have been smiling and driving like that and putting our lives, and the lives of others, at risk. Hart is a professional journalist and this was on a news program. In my opinion it was irresponsible for KGO to have handled this story this way.
