Yes, I use an Ortlieb bar bag - this one:

It has a flip top lid with a magnetic closure and it's easy to get to
the camera. I don't have a specific camera insert for it but it

I'm coming round to the Ortlieb as a possible solution. Chris uses one and it
seems to work well.
Sorry to hear about the op, but they seem to be very successful. My sister had

My solution has been to use an Ortlieb Mini-O bag outfitted with a mount that
mates to the front bag mount on my bike (a Brompton) and use the Ortlieb camera
insert in that. The bag is a nice size for a modest-sized camera/2-3 lens kit,
is frame-mounted so
I have a couple of similar bags. One of them is too small for a SLR kit. The
other is an Arkel bag, which is a highly-regarded brand, but in fact it's
enormous so I haven't used it yet, on the grounds that nature abhors a vacuum
so I'd end up filling it, and that goes against my principle of

Hi Eric,
You will enjoy yourself with or without a camera. I haven't fully resolved your
question yet, but I can certainly tell you what my experiences have been.
On my most recent tours, over the last year to eighteen months, I've taken a
Fuji X20 which I keep in a CCS compact pouch
I used to keep my banana tightly strapped to the front, but now I keep it in
the rear.

Cycling jerseys have 3 pockets on the back, sometimes with little zipped

and my banana in the left.
