Store Blog: Vancouver

Back to school, back to work, back on the bike?

Aug 16.10   Posted in category: Deals

So summer is coming to an end but that doesn't mean that you need to put your bike away for the next 9 months and forget about biking. Au contraire.. what better time to start commuting to work and school and take advantage of our mild climate and ever improving biking infrastructure.

At Different Bikes Vancouver we still have a great selection of bikes to suit your needs. The best part of buying a bike at this time is that we are motivated to move the bikes and get you a great deal. We could list all the bikes that are on sale but basically that would mean every bike we have in the store. In addition to all the great pricing on the bikes we also will give you 20% discount on any accessories that you buy with the bike and ofcourse don't forget about our "lifetime service" that comes with every bike we sell.

So come down to Different Bikes Vancouver at 1421 West Broadway, tell them that you read this blog and we will even throw in a water bottle and cage to boot.

See you at the store...

GoPro’s HD Helmet HERO is the world’s highest performance wearable 1080p HD video and still photo camera. Professional quality 1080p / 960p / 720p HD resolutions record at 30 and 60 frames per second (60 fps in 720p). Record up to 2.5 hours on a single charge and up to 9 hours total on a 32GB SD card (not included).

The camera can also shoot automatic 5MP photos at 2/5/10/30 and 60 second intervals during your activity, hands free. Press the shutter button once at the start of your activity and record up to 2.5 hours of poster-print quality photos of you and your friends, living it up.

Included are mounts for attaching the camera to three helmets and two pieces of gear or vehicles, as well as a head strap allowing you to wear the camera like a headlamp. You can also pull this strap over helmets for easy camera sharing between friends. One of the above mentioned helmet mounts is a lace-through strap-mount designed for vented helmets.

The HD Helmet HERO is compatible with all other GoPro HERO camera mounting accessories, so it's very easy to expand the functionality of your camera to also suction cup to vehicles, clamp to bike handlebars and seat posts, mount to surfboards, and even be worn on the wrist or chest.

Waterproof to 180’ / 60m and protected from rocks and other hazards thanks to its removable polycarbonate housing. Replacement housings and lens kits are available, making repairs or refurbishing your HD HERO camera affordable and convenient. It's a GoPro...go for it.™
