Hi Jeannie,  I love my little Nikon Travelite V binos, which I use for my yard birding.  They are compact, lightweight, and cost around $125 many years ago.  I don't know if they are still made, but you might take a look.

Subject: [VTBIRD] Any suggestions for a pair of Compact Binoculars for Biking?


Hi all:
I am looking for recommendations on a compact binocular to use to bird while
iking.  I will be using it for a daily 20 mile bike commute and also some
ike touring.  I envision having it on an elastic shoulder harness.  My
rice range is around $100.
Thanks.
