'Tis true...sigh..I just don't want to be buying this camera several times..I'm a buy something decent once..take care of it..use it for a long time type of guy. I agree..pristine paperweights are fairly useless.

Moisture is a concern, but it's manageable I think..the bag has a rain hood, and I have small dry bags from my kayak gear to offer additional protection..I know the type of unexpected jolts I can get on a bike though. Though..granted..my touring bike is a much cushier ride than my road bike..I'd only take the camera while touring.
