I tried to do my homework on something like that. It didn't work very well. I just couldn't concentrate on my form and what I was reading at the same time.

looks more like a music stand, I think it's for playing the Tuba while riding.

Audiobooks and audiocourses are great for long runs and long rides. I can teach myself Spanish, learn something about Early Christianity or listen to Bill Bryson talk about walking the Appalachian trail. I have about 20 Gigs of material stored up.
Nietzsche, however, wouldn't work for me. Genealogy of Morals requires me to sit down and read.

I tried that but found it hard to not loose my place when the book tilted going around corners.
