Default Taking Pics on Tour
Most of us have one of the new handy, dandy little point and shoot cameras. But sometimes it's tough taking pics of yourself with your bike.

Well, I use a totally cool little gadget called the Joby Gorillapod. Comes in different sizes and is totally packable and very lightwieght. Just attach to "whatever" , set your 10 second timer and "viola", just like you had a photographer with you. About $18 to $20 bucks shipped or available at REI.

Can you actually ride with it wrapped around your bars like that? Seems like it would shake loose pretty easily.

That is pretty cool, I am going to buy a digital video camera for recording rides and looking for different mounting methods. Anybody looking for the same, I have done some research and trying to decide between 2 cameras, the "Vholdr Contour 1080P" and the "GoPro Hero".
