Take one pretty generic spring-loaded PDA holder, one bicycle handlebar clip and some zeitgeist branding and you get the iPhone Bike Mount Holder. Ostensibly an ideal way to both watch movies while cycling and to crash into cars and railings, USBfever are suggesting that it might be safer to just use it to play music during your eco-friendly, thigh-chafing commute. They also claim the mount is “quakeproof”, which should be a reassuring fact when you’re catching air off of the speed bumps.

Of course, this isn’t just for the iPhone, they’ve just seized on that as the gadget-of-the-moment. That doesn’t make it a bad accessory, per se, just a lazy one. An iPhone-specific cradle could’ve recharged your cellphone via one of those generators that more usually powers a lamp.
If you’re still interested (and I suppose it’s safer than digging around in your bag or pocket whenever you want to change the track), it’s available now and priced at $14.99. Alternatively, you could make your own. eBay has plenty of PDA holders listed from $0.99, and you could salvage the mount from an old bike light.

lol i wouldnt trust it to be safe like that on my bike – some one might pinch it or scratch it!!
Nice! Very cool for just 14.99$
sieht gut aus ;-)
;o now i can use teh gps function for speed tracking, no more need for a speedometer! also if your worried about keeping a charge, i believe there are portable solar charges, ive seen them at REI, pretty sure ive seen one that charges ipods, which means it should work for iphone too ;)
how come that exact mount isn’t on the site?
DON’T DO IT!
This mount WILL NOT hold your phone. It simply doesn’t have enough pressure to keep it in place. Out of the box, my iPhone would pop out just by bouncing the mount in my hand.
Don’t trust a junk $20 mount to hold your $300 investment!
NICE COOOOOOOL ONE
i found new one. iCrew -Bike Navigation System for iPhone -

from JAPAN! better Quality.
I’m really not a fan of generic holders like that one. Too easy for the phone to fall out. Ebay has loads of really cheap iPhone specific ones. I reviewed mine, which I was really pleased with, here:

Dave Bell, where did you purchase your iPhone Bike Mount?
I bought this particular one for my iPhone 4 from Holders and Mounts, expensive, but highly recommended.
