Agreed. I actually am tossing around the idea of lacing up a dyno hub to feed power to a micro USB cable so I can mount my Android to the bars and not run out of fresh electrons.
Somehow, though, I feel it'd take away the vintage-ness of the experience. I may just keep doing what I'm doing: put the phone in jersey pocket, use Maps to get me home if I get lost (which I'm prone to), and just enjoy the ride.
