That's possible but not at all likely. (But an e-ink display would not be a bad idea!)
I'd give up video, games and quick screen response on my phone for one. I was imagining something like a Kindle though.

While you are certainly free to use your expensive phone to replace a cheap cycle speedometer (again, I don't mind!), the phone is a bit overkill for that purpose. My iPhone and Nexus 7 are hard to read in sunlight. My Edge 800 is much easier to read.
The cheap cycle speedometer works better - I was only using it as a proof of concept.
Nexus 7 I agree is all but unusable in direct sunlight.
