Carrying a camera and cycling

Handlebar bag if you have room for it.

make life a million time easier, and with only a small camera, it shouldn't affect your handling and it'll be out of the way allowing you to cane it.

sounds like a great idea. Make an insert from a sleeping mat that fits your camera + bag to add protection. I've made one for my 5d and it works a treat in a normal rucksack
