In Amsterdam this would say "I'm a tourist, please steal my phone". The latter probably applies to must urban surroundings, which is what they are explicitly promoting.
It doesn't add anything to safety either, because you still have to look down at your phone to use it.
I'm sure it might be useful for rides in the country, especially on terrain where you need both hands on the steering, but then you have to contest with bright sunlight or rain and snow.
Seems like this device has a relatively small margin of usefulness.
- skrebbel 13y ago> In Amsterdam this would say "I'm a tourist, please steal my phone". How? Leaving your phone mounted is like leaving your bike unlocked. It looks like 3 seconds of work to take a phone out and back in, so I don't understand your point. Also, I'd assume most people would take their phone along simply because they take their phone everywhere. GPS navigation is a great use case for this. Whatsapping with your friends, indeed, maybe not so much. I think you're confusing "I'd never use this" with "this device has a relatively small margin of usefulness".
