Many thanks, Tom Bristow
My handlebars on my road bike are already pretty full.
Computer, HRM, and I need the rest of the space for my hands when I "ride the bars" with my hands on the spaces between the stem and the hoods. I haven't a clue as to where you would fit in a cell phone.
Besides, I wouldn't use it. I keep my cell phone in a pocket of my wedge, and always stop before answering. A device has to be "sellable" to be functional.
(Why did you choose such tiny type for your post? Just curious???
