Canon S3 IS Questions - Thorn? Regina? Help!

[Thorn]

Oh, the pressure, the pressure....you're trusting me?!?!?!?!?

Dingster's got it, but just in case I attached some images (not the best quality, but I guess my camera doesn't like doing a self-portrait ). One end to the strap; one end to the lens.

I ended up attaching a simple shoulder strap to the Topeak bag. I thought I'd take it off when I stopped playing tourist and became a cyclist, but I found that I could just fold the shoulder strap and store it in the little zipper pockets from the fanny pack straps (without removing it). It was secure so I was never afraid that the strap was going to unwind or unattach and end up in the front wheel.

Have fun on the trip. We've been back for 2 weeks now (and I still don't have the pictures sorted..sigh). The odds are pretty good you should see better weather than we did. It rained every day--ride in the moring; bus in the afternoon when the rain pulled in. So, we had a soggy good time. Besides, rain never gets in the way of the food and the wine.

My best story....it was a day of short sharp hills (15-20%). I was pulling into town and the hill was long. I'd been climing for a while and I could see at least another 500m uphill ahead of me. The grade was 9% and I wasn't moving very fast. n little old lady was out sweeping her balcony off and shouts down at me in Italian....alas, I knew enough Italian to translate the gist of it, "if you're going that slow, you might as well get off and walk". Ah, the encourangement and support of the crowds

Enjoy!
