Cycling Weekly Verdict

A solid camera-light that has improved greatly from its own earlier version, the Cycliq Fly12 Sport is a good investment for anyone feeling the need to record their rides or those who just want clips of the scenery. However, the Fly6 rear-facing camera could be a better place to start; threats on our roads are more likely to come from behind.

The Cycliq Fly12 Sport is a unit that combines a camera and bike light in one, providing the reassurance of both a daytime running light and a recording of your ride. Like other of the best bike and helmet cameras the Fly12 has a crash mode that will lock recorded files to preserve evidence.

Otherwise, footage is recorded in a loop on the memory card – overwriting old files from the start to ensure it never runs out of memory, and there are choices of video quality or light mode to better suit the battery and memory card space needed for the type of riding the user does.
