Bike Camera Mount

There are some things I don't completely understand.  For example, in all the years that I did drive a car daily, I never once thought to myself, "How cool would it be to capture my drive on film?"  And yet one of the things that more and more every day cyclists are doing is coming up with creative ways to capture their ride.  Some videos end up being entertaining, mostly the ones where riders get into fights with motor vehicle operators, but for the most part I just don't get it.

This is just my opinion of course, and who am I to stand in the way of interesting hacks to capture an epic commute.  Reader Michael sent along the following:

The following installment is how I  mount my camera to my bike.  In the pictures you can see I use a upside down seatpost rack and use a used inner tube being cut to a short length for fasting the camera on my bike.

Lights, camera, action . . .

This looks like an interesting hack but I would love to see some video from it. I have yet to record my own commute. I think it is entertaining to make the mundane into something special.
