Phone on Bike (2015 Letour Grand Depart)



From Letour Grand Departure this year. Several professional riders brought out the camera cellphone while riding to stage. They did this purposely more likely to cherish this special moment with fans and everyone--which is a good thing. But something is missing.

The act isn't really educational. You shouldn't use cellphone while your bike is moving, despite one-hand bike handling on low speed isn't that difficult (they are pros anyway); but it's just distracting--and disregard to such kind of problem may further precede ugly accidents (hope not).

Jeremy Roy is a nice guy, he had bike cam instead of cellphone.

Lastly, it'd be great if helm maker could make small camera mounted on helmet, which just fit in the the helmet rather than making obstructive appearance and giving wrong impression on speed and distance.
