Was in one of the shops at the weekend and saw these SD20 video cameras. A HD 720p for £115 and at 1080p for £30 more.

You can argue not many pennies so worth trying but everything is tight at the moment so can't just throw it away. Would rather try something worthwhile.

Anyone any experience of these used while riding, either helmet/chest mount or fitted onto the bike.

The link for 720p here. the 1080p here. FWIW the their action camera offerings and accessories is here

Thanks in anticipation.

Would have to inspect it more closely to check but the blurb for the 720p and 1080p states

Battery life of 2 hours is a bit lacking, I'm after a camera too so going to do a bit of research

In that case looks like a good, budget alternative to a Go Pro, about time as well!

...but that's why I asked the question to see if anyone has used one in anger as it were.
It states it's in a waterproof case so not sure if these ports would be under fixed covers (could not examine that closely)

Your negatives confused me.

Why would it need a jack for an external mic?

I mean just for Vloggers, so they can connect a mic to it for inside the helmet, with the camera mounted outside the helmet.
Instead of having a separate voice recorder and syncing it to the video when editing
