Side note: drivers who lie about how accidents happen (and not just having a fuzzy memory, but flat-out lying), should face severe consequences.

Lives are ruined by bad drivers, and then to falsely blame the victim is just evil.

As a FOSS alternative to Garmin/Strava, FitoTrack works great. The social side is less developed, of course, but not totally absent.

Though now I'm wondering about dashcam apps and forward-facing phone mounts.

Yes, several FOSS options exist. But make sure that the data can be locked and accessible in the event that you're in a crash and unable to retrieve the data yourself.

I ride with a dashcam, always. But I am considering a rear camera because more and more asshats dangerously come up from behind.
