Bike handlebar holder for an HTC Legend

mr_fishbulb

I've just started getting back into riding my bike. I was looking at tom tom type GPS devices for them but then realised I may be able to use my phone.

Can anyone recommend a holder that I can put my phone in so I can see it on the handlebars but it wont fall out. there seem to be quite a few about on the internet but if anyone has some personal experience with a good one, that would be great.

Preferably a waterproof one.

Cheers

Anyone? My ride into central London yesterday could have done with a satnav

As a fellow biker I can appreciate what you're trying to do with the phone.

Unfortunately I have no personal experience of using one myself and the top result I found when searching google didnt look too good:-

Seems that other mounts have suffered similar probs i.e. coming off when going over bumps etc.

Personally I wouldn't fancy using one whilst riding my bike what with trying to avoid being squashed by cars/bus's etc, maybe it would be worth stopping occasionally, fire up the app on your phone and see where you need to go next? A bit of a palava for sure but better than tasting asphalt after coming off!

Might be an idea to check in some of the iphone or android forums, might already be discussion on this topic!

Thanks both. I'll do some googling

Maybe you'll find something that will do the job here??

If anyone finds this thread when searching, I purchased one of these - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004BM80PK

Used it last night on a 16 mile ride. Very impressed.
