Lav mics for the ride-along vocals:

🎤 The newest Tascam DR-10L Pro (32bit): https://amzn.to/4cDxhKa
🐈 dead cat windscreens are pivotal for good audio on bicycles: https://amzn.to/3JPXD2x
^ no, seriously, this might be the literal most important thing for recording people talking when on bicycles. Moving through the air creates SO much wind noise, otherwise! But putting these on the lav mic's capsule FULLY removes the wind noise like absolute MAGIC! So cool!
