Hi All, sometimes I am asked about what sort of equipment I use for filming the rides on the various bikes I work on. It might come as a surprise, but it's all here, for anyone who wants to give it a try ..

Yes, but how does he wind the film on?

Thanks for the help with that one,PeteF. Incidentally, the black stuff on the camera is insulation tape, which I used to cover the mic, to cut down wind noise, which was a nuisance otherwise.

Whilst I normally use a GoPro for such on a RAM handlebar U-bolt, I have found I can use a GoPro chest harness with a purpose-made GoPro mount to 1/4-20UNC tripod thread adaptor on a mirrorless camera. Usual harness kit and adaptor being quite cheap. A big DSLR being too heavy and tipping the mount forwards, but these smaller cameras work quite well. It would work with a compact, they being lighter still and most shoot video well.
The microphone thing, I've had some success dropping an Olympus PCM recorder (or any digital tape recorder, could be a mobile phone) into the pannier for better sound and substituting that for the camera's sound track during edit; you need a synch point, beep the horn..
