What’s the best way to carry a valuable/sentimental/fragile film camera on mixed terrain bike rides?
I have a Leica iii(d) I inherited and refurbished that I very much like to shoot. When I’m walking around, the best setup seems to be running both ends of the metal snake strap to the right lug, and tucking the camera into my jacket’s zippered outside breast pocket. I can imagine getting an old-style jersey with a kangaroo boob pocket, but I don’t have one now. I’ve seen sliding harness “systems” in my flickr days, but I was too poor to consider them then. If there’s a quick-draw strap that keeps the camera close to the body and stable, I would consider it now. If the same thing can be rigged up for cheap, I’m interested in that, too. I’m happy to basket or frame-bag carry, too, but it seems/feels like my body would damp road shock better. I was super-impressed with a Rivster’s basket net rig to transport a heavy Mamiya (?) safely offroad, since I have a C3 and a small Graflex. This question is more for carrying the little Leica, though. I don’t imagine there’s a better place to ask this question.
