I am just wondering how you keep your camera ready and stable while on a bike. Fall is coming and I will be breaking out the bike to capture all the streams and colors. I would like to keep my camera in a position that I cam shoot or have it ready in a flash but all I have at the moment is a third parts neck strap. I am a little weary about riding with just that. Thanks for your help and your responses.

How about with one of the Lowepro Toploaders which come with the chest harness. You can see the Toploader 65 AW, 70 AW, and 75 AW HERE (external link). And the chest harness with all whether (AW) covers looks like this:

You can leave the top opened and the neck strap around your neck and pull out the camera quickly when needed.

Lowepro Slingshot300 with the waist stap firmly attached. It's very easy to sling it over, grab the camera and click away.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.

What kind of 'Bike'?

Motorcycle or bicycle?

I've abandoned all hope of my 40D on my Harley. I've not tried to put the 40D on my bicycle, I use my S3IS instead.

You might want to take a look at the Kata "Torso" bag. I have the Kata T-212 (there's now an updated, larger model, T-214, which I just ordered) that I used for taking pictures while bicycling. It's really convenient for quick draw.
