To each his own, of course, but I figure I've got more than a couple
thousand bucks into a bicycle that is always just one small oil slick
or attention-defecit driver away from crashing and burning, so I'm not
going to forgo the awesomeness of a Fuji X100/S or X10/X20 for fear of
dropping. You can get a clean/used X100 for $500-$600, a clean X10 for
$200-$275 (?), with file output that is as good as a Riv rides.
Heck, some of us are shodding our $400+ wheels with near-$100 tires,
and you can shred a tire in no-time flat.
YMMV...

Quoting Eric Norris :
The x100 looks like a great camera, but my personal rules about
digital cameras and cycling require that I only carry a camera that I
wouldn't mind dropping while riding. At upwards of $1,000, the x100
wouldn't meet that test for me.
I generally carry cameras that I paid $100 or less for, and those
usually come from eBay (where I buy older models to get 95% of the
features at 25% of the price). I got a screaming deal on a very nice
waterproof Sony camera mostly because it is pink, and nobody wants a
pink camera.

The FujiFilm X cameras particularly the X100 and X100S make
great cameras to use when riding.Thanks very much for the kudos on the
photos. Almost all the pictures are made from raw files processed in
LightRoom.
I can't praise Paso Robles enough as a great place to ride. Lots of
'country bike' kind of riding there and much variety. Plus the Great
Western Bicycle Rally is about as un-racerish multi-day event I've
encountered. I enjoy all the little kids zooming around the
fairgrounds on their bikes.
Cheers,JimD

Great photos! I've been drooling over the the x100 and similar
cameras since they first came out. Their compactness reminds me the
light and unencumbered feel of my old film cameras, while I love my
DSLRs and lenses sometimes I yearn for simplicity. Your B&Ws are
gorgeous, great tonality, they almost look like selenium toned prints,
are those straight out of the camera or converted in post?
Also, I loved your shots of the urban/suburban landscapes...and the
story they tell.
