Smartphones are exactly what they say they are. With the inclusion of GPS they are a very powerful tool for people who want to know where they are, where they have been and how to get to where they want to go to.

There are already a lot of Apps that cyclists use on a regular basis. They are basically broken down into two types. The first is to record journeys and compare times over the same trip. These can be used for training, general logging or just for fun. The second type are used for navigation purposes. 

Whatever use you want to put your smartphone too you need to put it somewhere on your bike where it can be easily seen and somewhere where it is weatherproof. The iPhone bike mount is the ideal solution. It mounts on your handlebars or the handlebar stem for easy viewing, it is weatherproof and easily detachable. You can rotate it for better viewing and you can attach the data cable for charging on the go.

Beware of copy cats. The Bikemount iPhone bike mount from  Tigra Sport is the original. There are other similar looking products with similar names so please beware.
