Cool, I think someone should state a new organization. FAD; Falconry Against Drones.

I've been thinking seriously about a small helium balloon (blimp) that'd be tethered to the back of the bike. It'd float a gopro or similar 10 ft above the cyclist pointing down and forwards. And you'd just drag it around a course...

No thanks, not in a bike race.

I was thinking more along the lines of rides I did in Washington DC and in Manhattan. Think it'd be cool to ride on the Brooklyn Bridge with that...

The little Lily drone is an amazing piece of hardware. Straight out of a video game or a SciFi movie. Stunning to say the least.

The waterproof feature is brilliant on top of the product itself. It sure looks like a finished product in the video.
