these would allow you to do a 2 person interview and get excellent stereo ambient tracks the rest of the time without the handling noise if you use camera mics. you'll still need rycotes (richmond film services).
btw lucas brunelle's helmet cam is great for shots when racing through traffic but it's going to be limited if you want a range of shots from different angles and not much fun for interviews. if you're going with 1 camera i would go hand held with a small camera on lanyard in case you need both hands on the bars. i've found a way of getting audio from a radio mic into my nokia n95 or video camera (for sync) as well as sending a signal to a separate recorder (email me for details). a radio mic would be great for interviewing folks on their bikes.
