    It'll be great, until you crash, then you need your phone and it is broken. You'll be stuck on a foggy mountain, then you will die.

    or

    It'll be great, then you'll ride through a rough area and someone will think, "nice phone on display, let's steal it, and let's steal the bike while we are at it". Then you won't have a phone to phone the police from.

    I'd keep my phone in my rucksack.

    I would look at something with a bit more protection like this

    Then put it in your rucksack

  • usually i only do canal riding on my main bike but i have another bike which i free roam with. when we cycle on the canal there are usually a few of us and also the phone would not be that much on display as it would be tilted downwards.

    i would like to know if anybody actually uses this iPhone mount.

    Why do you want your phone on your bars?

    If you are just riding canal towpaths then it can't be for navigation (assuming you don't live in Venice, or Amsterdam).
