I use a mono pod often. fit the seat post mount to the narrower end, then it is better balanced when holding and more steady. I glued on a flat stick on mount (with the sticky stuff removed) so no unscrewing to take on and off…

Set up works ok on the coast and easy trails but not a good idea riding one handed on anything rough 🙂
mix it up with some chest and gorilla pod mounted ride by shots and try half slow when editing to get more film time as you ride by, and i also mount the Go Pro above the front tyre riding a ridged bike, (Larry cam :-))
just edited on Windows movie maker so nothing fancy…

Go Pro works good on a tri pod too, but time consuming to set up…
