Resolution: This is a perennial issue and the current GoPro Sessions camera is an economical place to start. The current model supports 4K or Super HD.
Image stabilisation: This is the big issue and can be resolved by throwing money at the problem but I am not recommending that. The drone community has a lot to offer in terms of add on products. The Feiyu WG2 is a good camera stabilisation device but is not directly mountable on the bike. It is alow cost device and the motor strength and response time is too slow.
You can wear the WG2 as recommended by the manufacturer for this application, however there are a number of products that can help with directly mounting on the bike. The issue with wearing the device is you get extraneous bits of bike and you in the shot.
I therefore decided to use a handlebar mount and solve the stabilisation issues.
