never fail that when I'm on a roll on the bike (no pun intended) I see something that would make a good shot so I have to decide whether to keep riding or stop and shoot. Especially when I'm riding for fitness/health... How long do you ride? Get in 2-1/2 hrs of ridining and stopping every 20 minutes ain't gonna hurt you - you're still getting in at least 1 Hr+ of riding. Plus you're toting your gear on your back. I just bought a used Lowepro photo bag - kind of big but fits all my camera bodies, lenses and accessories. I've biked with my gear AND my tripod but I have to mount my tripod along the top of the bike frame and it extends over the handle bars making turns difficult. I need to fing a way to possibly strap the tripod to my chest - some kind of thin bag with a large strap. So I forgot biking - camping, hiking, biking then photography where I now bring my photo gear with me camping, hiking, & biking - soon to be sailing the East Coast stopping every so often to drop the bike and photo gear on land and bike to locations to shoot - yee-friggin-hah! Can't wait to be living aboard. I'll be traveling from the easern shore of Canada to the Floriday Keys, the Bahamas, and the US Virgin Islands - and back again! Jim |

You can get one of those racksack things, like this: http://www.lowepro.com/Products/Back...rekker_AW.aspx It can fit a couple of SLRs with 3-4 lenses. The tripod can go on it on the outside. It also has a waterproof thing you pull over it when it's raining heavily (when it's raining but not too much, the rucksack itself is water-resistant enough). I cycle to work every day (around 15km return, I guess) and take a DSLR and three lenses with me using the rucksack each time; it is quite comfortable. When I take the tripod, it simply makes it a bit heavier. The only downside is that it's a bit expensive, but I suppose that depends on the country (Belgium is not a good place to buy such things). |
