I generally don't like hanging my camera or bicycle on the bicycle where they get all the vibration and road shocks. I use a backpack or a sling bag so that my body absorbs most of the shock and vibration. I almost always have a camera in my cycling backpack. Usually I keep it light … just a small camera and one lens … but I've carried up to a three lens kit with travel tripod for a whole day's ride occasionally. I almost took the Hasselblad out with a 135mm lens today. I have several packs that I use when cycling, most common one is my Timbuk2 Rapid Pack (now discontinued) which is light, spacious, and cost me about $90 in 2017. When I'm more specifically carrying camera gear, I tend to use either a Wotancraft Mini Rider sling bag or a Peak Design Everyday Sling 10L … current versions are on their websites with current prices. The Waterfield Musette bag is another really handy bag that will fit a camera and a travel tripod that I've used extensively. It's particular good if I know I'm going to want to stop and make a shot regularly as I ride, because I can just swing it around to my side and access the contents. When it comes to carrying *anything* on a bicycle, of course, "less is always more." Much better to only carry exactly what you are going to use and no extras.
