Someone asked how I mounted the video camera to the bike. Here are some pics. The Camera is the ContourHD. The mount is made for the camera by the folks at Panavice. It is safety strapped to the bike when in use. So far I've not needed the safety strap.

I tried the camera mounted to the windshield. The vibration was too much when mounted there. Watching the resulting video would make you nauseous. I also tried mounting the camera on my helmet. Glad I had a safety strap... it fell off.
