I am a mountain biker and loved the idea of being able to view the screen while riding. BUT the mounting bracket does not hold the explorist well enough. I watched my explorist unit fall to the ground on the first ride and thought I just didn't have it clicked into place. Wrong, because after putting it firmly into the bracket I lost the unit on the next downhill. I was luck enough to find the unit but will never use it on my bike or ATV due to fear of losing it.

The mount works well. I read elsewhere that people added velcro to make the mount more secure. I find that if you make sure the little plastic tab on the mount snaps into the small hole on the GPS, usually with an audible click, the mount is very secure. However, I must admit, I don't do the roughest biking (jumping over logs etc.). I would have given it five stars, but a have had a little trouble with is trying to rotate on the handle bars. I kept having to tighten it up. Seems firm now however.

This bracket holds my GPS very well. The only thing I really don't like about it is the mount to the handlebars. This is obviously just a bracket designed to be used with a car mount and the bike handlebar mount is not the type that you would see with any other bike accessory. It does not allow easy switching between bikes; it requires unscrewing two screws. It suggests using the included adhesive strip to wrap around the handlebar. I didn't use it and isn't needed; I just used the rubber strip with the paper backing still in place. If it had a mount more like any bike headlight that has a well designed mount that allows easy switching between bikes it would be a much better product. The metal bracket with the two long screws even looks like a cheap afterthought. I will probably modify it to work better with bikes. However the device does at least hold the GPS unit securely.
