You will almost always have more weight on the rear, so it will grip better and wear faster. Don't think moto sand tires here; Nick's observation is spot on.
While I do agree that road bikers riding side by side really grinds my gears, I can't believe how bad of an argument he presents. Riding the bus will feed the economy more than biking?

Video is not as important as IQ, but I don't want it to be an afterthought in the camera's design either. Thanks for the suggestions guys, because I am still shopping...trying not to be so impulsive. The more opinions the better
