   You might want to try an action camera.  They have mounts made specifically   
   for mounting on bikes and the good ones have a mode that will correct for   
   any shaking the bike might do.   
      
   Two caveats -- the best ones are expensive, but there are some affordable   
   ones out there that take video that should be more than good enough for   
   your needs.   
      
   -- Action cams take good daylight footage but, if you bike at night, it   
   will come out darker than most good car dash cams.  Depending on where the   
   footage is taken, you might not be able to see much if it is not a well lit   
   area.   
      
   I recently bought an Akaso Brave 6+ that works pretty well.  It can record   
   4K video, but I prefer the 1080p with the highest framerate (which is   
   higher than the highest 4k rate).   
      
   There is also an Akaso Brave 7 out.  It has screens on both sides, but they   
   apparently sacrificed photo quality for adding the second screen.  Most   
   reviewers prefer the older 6+.
