Call me crazy, but as a runner I’ve thought of getting one of those follow drones for documenting trails... but what about as a “dash cam” for cyclists? You would certainly be able to get evidence of the sort of thing you are describing.

Where I live it is illegal to use dashcams for this purpose, whether on cars or bicycles. If you do it and give another reason that's fine, but it will still not be accepted as evidence in court. The rarity of good bike lanes does not improve the situation either.

  Why on earth would it be illegal to use a dash cam for your own protection?

    I can't speak for the parent poster but here in Sweden it required a ruling by the Supreme Court to determine that dash cams should be legal. Until then the footage was inadmissible as evidence, as far as I'm aware, because it was effectively seen as illegal surveillance.

    Switzerland has stringent privacy rules, including in what other countries would consider 'public' space.
