What are the best video recording devices for cyclists for on road - front and back of bike?

Pros

Pro
Automatically saves data in case of a crash

Pro
Encrypts data in case of a crash

By encrypting the data the device prevents tampering with evidence.

Pro
Logs speed and location via GPS

Pro
Reasonable video quality

The camera records 1080p video and the exposure adjust quickly. There's a good amount of wobble due to a rolling shutter, but it can be fixed by dampening the vibration (there 's a simple DIY fix using ponytail holders)

Pro
Good mounts for both front and back of the bike

There's an easy to install, reliable mounts for handlebars and seatpost.

Pro
Wide-angle lense

The camera has a 170° lens providing great coverage.

Cons

Con
If crash detection fails, you might loose the footage

The camera keeps, depending on the chosen capacity, the last 1.25 to 5 hours of footage. If it detects a crash has happened, the footage is automatically saved, but if the crash detection fails and it keeps recording it can record over the crash footage.
