As dorky as it may look I have been running with a side-mounted helmet cam for some time now. I use it to record everywhere I go and I do it to have evidence in case someone whacks me with their cage while I ride. The cameras are cheap and so are the memory cards.
I run a Contour Roam 1600 and a 32GB memory card. I can record on and off almost all day long, but it'll do about 2 hours straight at 720P (it can do 1080, too). It has a fairly wide-angle lens so I can even get my mirrors if someone comes up from behind.
I know it is an after-the-fact solution, but at least it is something. Cheap insurance, methinks. I did have one person at a light ask me if it was for recording myself when I break the speed limit doing wheelies...I said, "Nope, it is used to record people like you who run us off the road." I gave him a wink, but he just stared with the light coming on dimly above his head.
