I ride a road bike more than I drive my car. I have started to consider adding the blutooth gps reciever and using the XV as a gps tool on my bike. I can't seem to find a handlebar mount for these phones. I'm a bit of a weight snob too for the bike. the ligher and thinner the better. I searched around here but most of the stuff I found was related to auto mounting or the otterbox for a motorcycle (way too much for what I am looking for). Anyone seen a simple handlebar mount for this thing? Also, anyone know if the device can handle some vibration? Seems like it would be ok since all memory is solid state.

Thanks.

A Google search for "bicycle pda mount" yielded these results. This one and this one look particularly interesting. I use this on my bike with no problems from vibration (I don't use the screen--I'm just listening to music and or Howard Stern). I do about 20 to 25 miles a day on rough Northeast Ohio roads with no vibration related problems--I would get the replacement insurance before I tried a handlebar mount if I were you. Check this out for cool bike gps action.

I would think that a RAM mount and a ProClip device holder would work great. I use the ProClip on my motorcycle with no issues...

Ok, thanks for all the good info. That Garmin is killer although i wish it did something with maps. I have a Garmin GPS III+ with a hadlebar mount. It works well but too big to keep on there, and the antenna is barelly staying on anymore (7 years old) and doesn't do great in losts of tree cover. Thought why not use the XV. Lots of sunlight on the screen may wash out the XV pretty well too. I keep the xv in my pocket for music (and Stern) already. Anyway, the Garmin you pointed out was definitely cool, but probably too pricey for me.

Howard Stern?????!!!! That's 6700 sacriledge...

nothin like riding along the lake in chicago with Stern in your ear. ahhhhhh....

I am a mountain biker who does mostly very aggressive downhill so I don't trust myself attatching my phone to my bike...though I would be interested in doing it when I ride around town. my question for you is if you are riding and listening using bt? I have a great wired headset which not only is loud enough for riding but is windproof for riding and talking at the same time (plantronics mx505). I also have a bunch of bt headsets and the bluetrek x2 I have definatey will stay put enough to listen with but my question is....I have noticed the sound qualifty is really no good when I am listening to anything other than audio books. the bt headsets with their 8 khz sampling seem to only push higher frequencies which hurt the ear thus making me have to turn it down to where I can't hear much. any way to increase the sound quality? what do u all use? (i could always use a adapter and some stereo headphones but that isn't wireless. thanks.

Check out this thread--it is all about bluetooth headsets and which ones work well (and which ones don't), and the sound quality of the different units. I think that you will find that there are several bluetooth stereo headsets out there with good sound quality.
