1. One boring angle

Now this is irrelevant if you just want to record your commute, for safety reasons. However, if sick edits are your thing then you're going to want a few different angles to keep things interesting. Invest in a few mounts, and spend time finding out what works for the riding you do. We'd recommend a chest mount for nearly every rider as handlebar and helmet mounts could result in a boring, shaky or slow account of your riding skills.
2. Dirty lens
Rain, mud and wildlife droppings are an inevitable part of cycling. Don't let them get onto your camera lens though, so check and clean as often as possible. If it's just rain, try giving the lens a lick to get it clean and dry.
3. Blinded by the spec
4. Riding in the dark
5. Wrong frame rate
