My parents recently bumped into this guy who was filming using Quadcopters and DSLR cameras on Galley Head near Rosscarbery, Co. Cork. I managed to get in contact with him and he sent me a link to the footage, which turned out to be pretty good!

We decided to do what we do: build a bicycle, but this time, in the spirit of those pioneers of speed, build it to see how fast we could go…
Now that…is a chainring.
