Because bikers need distractions too

(Credit: USB Fever)

Why should car drivers be the only ones to enjoy watching video on the road? As cyclists acquire more rights, they should also be able to distract themselves as effectively as their motorist counteparts.

The "iPhone Bike Mount" is supposedly designed to make it easier to control the device for music and phone controls on handlebars, but we fear that it might simply add to the growing list of eye-averting gadgetry that has made commuting a multi-tasking adventure for many afflicted with dangerously short attention spans. The bracket can rotate 360 degrees so the screen can be seen at any angle desired for optimal viewing of the iPhone, media player, or any other device that will fit in its adjustable arms. Just be ready with an excuse in case you get into an accident.

Yeah, the way it's being promoted and talked about is a bit strange. I started looking for an iPhone bike mount today for use with GPS-enabled apps like iTrail in order to track route, distance, altitude, etc., but this particular product attempt doesn't make me feel too safe. I can just see my iPhone popping out and crashing to the asphalt in a million pieces....
