That's a really interesting point. I suppose using your phone as a mounted cycling computer is a little reckless, as it certainly wasn't designed with the environmental stresses experienced at the front of a bike. Thats why I keep it strapped to my thigh or securely in my pocket. I would posit that having a screen on your handlebar is a little reckless because it draws your attention away from the road.
The device I use (read: my sig) comunicates all the data gathered both aurally and visually. Since I commute on my bike I really do need to be aware of road at all times, the sound portion makes a difference, especially during rush hour when people are the most ****** off and dangerous behind the wheel of an 1800 pound cycle destructor.
Has anyone had any close calls because they were looking at a cycle computer or some other distracting device on their bike?
