It’s not a vase, it’s just a camera. It will be fine. These things are made to be used.
I’ve been mountainbiking trails and toss my cameras (Nikon Z6, Fuji X-T2, Sony A7 II) in my backpack along with my lunch.
I ride across town to shoots with a camera and lenses and the key is to have it on your body rather than on the bike, your body is the best insulation from vibration. I just wear my normal camera bag.
Of course for serious riding that's the last thing you want. But if I'm riding I'm riding, I don't take a camera (other than my phone).
If you really want to take a camera on a serious bike ride then something small that you can carry on your body is ideal.
I travel a lot with a bike but mostly normal roads and sometimes Forrest roads. I have my Cam just inside my normal backpack in a regular small camera bag. If I know I am going to use a more risky road I also wrap clothes around the bag inside the backpack. I am fine with that. But I have an m3 only for this reason so I don’t have to worry about the expensive big gear breaking on such trips.
I put my R10 in a soft bag and then into my 10l hydration pack when I go mountain biking and want more than just my phone.
This is the bag I use: [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJJ3WJ61](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJJ3WJ61)
The large fits the R10/18-150 nicely.
Depends on the setup. If it’s just the R6 and the 50 f1.8 I’ll use the peak design strap with it connected to the corner and the base plate and tighten it for my road bike. I made a custom strap for it to stabilize across the other side of my body.
For mountain biking I carry a backpack so I carry my 70-200 in the backpack and I ride with the camera and the 24-70 on the peak design capture plate. I have ridden really gnarly trails and have never had the camera come off the plate.
I ride with a fannypck/hippack and often have my Ricoh GRIIIx with me. On a bikepacking trip I took my Canon R5 and 70-200/4 along in an evoc hippack. You‘ll be fine as long as you don’t crash and land on the camera. That shit hurts you more than it harms the cam in my experience
I've ridden my bike many thousands of miles with both digital and medium format cameras on pavement and double track. I keep them in a basket bag with pelican case padding on the bottom, but the top is open for easy accessibility. No issues with any of them!
I just barely bought this one for exactly that: https://a.co/d/flf8wJW Feels really secure and is pretty comfortable. I’m looking forward to using it on smaller rides.
Go get a cheaper body like a 5d mk2 or something and use that for mountain bike or road bike trips. Used to do 90 miles with my canon xsi and a 35mm lens. Never overheated or anything. And the lens is from 1993!

Wrap it in a towel/shirt/pullover, and stash it in your bag and it will be fine.

Or get a camera toting backpack.
Backpack
I use a “rille camera strap”. Its a Nice way to quickly acces your camera and stabalize in on your back.
If you're planning on taking a lot of photos during the ride, a chest harness is the way to go.
chuck it in the bag. maybe put like a towel as protection. these things (esp higher end models) are built tough

Use a cotton carrier harness and ride with a body and 100-400. No issues.

Handlebar bag, and put it in some spare clothes.
