I’ve been looking around for a while for a good pair of cycling knickers (quit laughing…) but the ones I’ve found are either:
However, I came across a great post on easily hacking some existing pants and making your own pair.
Capturing good photos or video while riding your bike can be a bit tricky, not to mention potentially hazardous to your health.
However, fastening a small camera to your bike can be as easy as attaching it to a small tripod that’s strapped to your handlebars.
The small Gorillapod is a quick and easy way of wrapping your camera to just about anything, whether it’s a backpack strap, handlebars or your buddy’s helmet. While the Gorillapod is an extremely versatile tripod overall, for cycling pics it works best on smooth pathways in dry weather. In rough terrain or wet weather, it tends to slip and bounce around too much.
Another tripod option is the UCO Ultrapod. This is an extremely lightweight tripod, with an included velcro strap that makes it easy to quickly lash it to your bike. The ball and socket swivel makes it easy to adjust the angle once it’s attached to your bike, although the Gorillapod is easier to adjust while on the move.
Lastly, if you’ve got a few spare parts kicking around in your bike-bits-box, the folks over at Photojojo have a cheap but functional solution for building your own bike mount.
