Looks like I’m going to be on a bike for several days while in Italy. Wondering
about carrying a camera, in my case a K5, on a bicycle on a bicycle tour.
Especially balancing protecting the camera while underway with accessibility to
the camera for taking photos. Suggestions? Special equipment?
will you be traveling with a swag wagon (i.e. not with luggage on bike)?
if so i'd consider a small sling bag/messenger bag; i've used several, and
the key is to get one that can be adjusted to hang well and that has a
"cross-strap" to secure around your waist (so it doesn't flop around while
riding); it's tricky to get the right amount of padding into a messenger bag
— most padded inserts are too bulky for me, so i often just layer some thin
closed-cell foam in the bottom of the bag; probably not enough for a hard
fall, but good enough for knockabout
smaller is better when on a bike — if you need to carry a lot, and/or don't
need quick access a frame-mounted bag is generally better; or a backpack if
you often need to carry things with you when off the bike
