IMHO

Image quality, sony win against gopro hero 4 silver

Accessories and versatility, gopro hero easily win over sony

Many third party gopro accessories available and ready in the market

Sony accessories price always premium.

Sony as200v seems like a lil bit bulky (mini handycam size)

gopro hero 4 silver come with touch screen lcd, and adventure edition come with diving housing waterproof up to 30m depth.

I recommend you to use gopro hero 4 silver, simply because: You gonna use it for cycling, and with gopro you can easily mount it anywhere you want.. helmet, monopod / selfie stick, bike frame, handle bar, car window, etc (various type of mounting available and easily support its size & weight)

and if you gonna use the sony i believe its gonna be to bulky to mount it on your helmet..

If you are not professional shooter, no point you are getting black edition. because black edition come with more feature and for pro, but Gopro 4 Black edition did not come with the lcd screen. you have to purchase it separately as additional accessory

I was in similar dilemma choosing between black or silver. And yes I am in the video industry and yet decided to go for silver edition.

Black edition with original additional lcd backpack screen will cost you easily over 2k.

If i were you here is my plan:

Hero 4 silver adventure edition: RM1369 (lowest in the market)
Triple Charger battery + 2 Additional Battery from smatree RM 149 (trust me you need at least additional 1 battery. and i recommend minimum of 2 spare battery for you. but for me now i have 5 spare battery)
Monopod stick third party
Helmet Mount third party
Bike clamp third party
Aluminium CNC case
floaty handgrip for swimming
anti fog for swimming..

some pic for your reference..


Hope it helps, cheers...
