    I was never happy not being able to get to the camera quick enough. On trails/easy rides, I use one of these.

    On my trike I hang the camera attractively on my boobs, with the spider holster under my armpits.
    On a DF bike I'd probably put the camera hanging behind me.

    Crumpler is good. For a backpack style, can't beat the price/quality of the Lowpro flipside 200. Another belt option is anything by Think Tank - these things are great.

    I've had the crumpler 3 million dollar home and a few of their other camera bags - and really, I've never liked them enough to use them after the couple times that I did use them.

    Just basically get the smallest holster style bag you can. I have a couple different sized tamrac bags that go with me hiking. Something like this:

    Except mine lets you detach your shoulder strap.It's got a thing you can put it through a belt strap - so I put it on the hip belt of my backpack hiking.

    I have a nathan hydration pack that lets me put a small lens in a pocket on either shoulder strap. Basically, if my camera or my lenses are in my backpack while hiking, i don't end up using them.

    I have a nice lowe alpine backpack camera bag, which I don't use hiking because of the lack of a hydration bladder, but it's good for playing the tourist.

    I bought the detours zoom handlebar camera bag to put on my bike - it looks nice, I haven't actually tried it yet - but someone else on here has and had no problems with it in regards to their camera - My handlebars & stems & fork are generally carbon, so I think it'll limit how much vibrations get to the handlebar bag (and my other bike is all steel).

    If you're not picky about newness, you could look on craigslist & ebay.

    Enjoy your camera!

    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    Thanks for all of the recommendations! I have looked at the Crumpler bags online, but I really have no way to look at them other than on the internet. That's why I wanted recommendations. I have a handlebar bag that it would fit in, I just don't want to put it in there, but I may just wind up doing that.

    Thanks again!
