I'm a commuter mostly, about 20km a day, for the last 15 years, in all weather. Sydney weather is not too harsh though.

I've done a little cycle touring. Most recently circumnavigating Samoa in early 2011.

I did a few weeks as a bicycle courier back in the 90s whilst on holidays from my permanent job.

'conclude' rather than 'prove'. You can't really prove this.

@Neil Yes because they offer bicycle mounts that fit a standard tripod mount on a digital compact camera. So if I was to go with the digital compact (which I will borrow a friend's soon), I will look at those mounts. I've clarified my answer on rigidmount now. I'm not connected with any of these sites / products btw. I'm just trying to suss out what is the best way of recording video on a bike. I covered many general advantages / disadvantages to look for as well, not just products.

The original post and first answer, both mention particular products. I am just saying I've tried the GoPro, it doesn't suit me for the reasons mentioned, and I'm looking at the weather proof compacts, as a better option, for the reasons mentioned.

The question as far as I can find is, "What cameras / arrangements might be better" (than his current setup). I gave my personal experience with GoPro, and my plans on what I might do next which "might be better". I can remove the brands or links if you prefer. I was just giving an example of a compact weather proof camera. Having not tried them I am not recommending them. I also outline what I think are the advantages of that type of camera over the GoPro (since that was mentioned in a previous answer and I have tried that)
