【Practical Report】 Bicycles and map apps might be a great fit! Comfortable cycling with just one holder

Have you ever thought during weekend cycling, "If only I could quickly check the map app, it would be much more comfortable?" I discovered a bicycle-specific iPhone holder that seems to solve such concerns.

Wanting to be freed from the hassle of taking out my iPhone from my pocket...

Until now, whenever I was commuting or cycling and felt like I might get lost, I would take out my iPhone from my pocket, open Google Maps, and check. However, this turned out to be quite cumbersome. I would have to stop at traffic lights or intersections, pull out my iPhone every time, check it, and then put it back in my pocket...

I wanted to check the navigation more smoothly and with less stress. So, I purchased this holder.

The installation was surprisingly easy

After purchasing it, I immediately tried installing it. The process was very smooth, and the specifications compatible with handlebar diameters of 14 to 40mm meant that no special measurements or tools were required, allowing for a secure installation. I felt confident and didn't have any worries like "Is this going to be okay?" during the installation.

Fixed to the handlebar, I can check Google Maps without it shaking while riding

The holder is firmly attached to the bike’s handlebars as if it is hugging them, keeping the iPhone stable.

I usually use "Google Maps" on my iPhone for navigation, and since the screen is securely fixed while riding, I can instantly grasp the direction of the map and the timing of turns.

The holder supports 360-degree rotation, so it can be adjusted to either vertical or horizontal orientation.

Since it can be fine-tuned to match my eye level, I don’t need to move my gaze significantly while riding, which is also helpful.

I always perform operations such as zooming in and out while stopped, but the touch response was good, and I didn’t feel any wobbling.

Feeling secure in new routes during weekend cycling

When my spouse and I went cycling in the suburbs over the weekend, this holder was a great asset. On new routes, you'd want to check navigation frequently, but with just a quick glance at the screen while riding, I could understand my current location without any unnecessary stress.

This time, a shortcut through a park was indicated on the route I searched on Google Maps. Usually, I would pass by this place without noticing it, but thanks to the smartphone holder allowing me to constantly check the navigation, I was able to smoothly choose that route and enjoy a pleasant cycling experience.

Holding the iPhone in my hand while riding not only is dangerous but also violates traffic laws. With the holder, while riding, I can limit my actions to merely checking the screen, and any necessary operations can be done while stopped, contributing to safer driving.

It doesn’t come loose during use, and it looks smart. For people who often travel by bike, this item should greatly enhance the comfort of daily commuting or weekend rides.
