Geek Cyclists - How Do You Mount Your Smart Device?

[iamwiz82]

I'm looking for a solid way to mount my iPhone to my bike which seems moderate craziness. I haven't seen very many mounts that I'm exceeding impressed by thus far, lots of plastic and cheesy mounting systems, including zip-ties.

Allow me to be the first to ask.. Why not just put it in your pocket or a backpack etc?

because it would be cool to have an overly complicated bike computer right there .

Haha, definitely overly complicated! Just be careful for adverse weather if you have your phone on your handlebars.

Phones don't have enough battery life for cyclists to use them as bike computers. Cyclists use devices like the Garmin Edge.

Sorry, I don't have help on the "mount a phone on a bicycle front" but I know a lot of cyclists and none of them use a phone like you propose.

I'm hugely opposed to people who do this - I don't understand it, given the cost of an ANT+ adapter, along with other hazards. Your only choice would really be the mounts that are plastic, etc. unless you find a milled setup from aluminum.

If you use google, you'll find lots of different products out there.

Put it in the back pocket of your cycling jersey and use the MyTracks app. You can check your stats later.

I've used duct tape with great success.
