If you’re planning on behaving badly on University Avenue, beware; Keith Peck and his trusty video camera may be there.

The avid cyclist has decided to start recording his trips as he commutes to work at the University of Waterloo, and post dangerous behaviour on his YouTube channel. Those videos are then forwarded to police, along with a submitted report.

In one case, Peck recorded a man driving an Audi convertible with what appears to be a desk unit in the front seat, partially obstructing his view as he drove in heavy traffic.

The camera he has shows GPS location, heading, speed and altitude, which is overlaid on the recorded video to show all of the applicable information.

Peck lives in Waterloo’s Westvale neighbourhood and commutes to UW during the work week. He said he does see dangerous activity often, but he also points out that it’s not every single driver who acts poorly.

“There are bad people and there are good people,” said Peck, adding that there are some cyclists who don’t follow the rules of the road as well.

Peck said the decision to purchase the camera was spurred by the death of a University of Waterloo professor, who was killed on his bike on King Street near Conestoga Mall in February 2017. The charges against the driver of the vehicle were later dropped.

“This way, if someone comes flying by me in their car, I can report that,” said Peck.
