I have been using this on my bike for about a month and it works great. It holds the GPS securely, but it is also easy to take on or off.
I think that I will begin using the lanyard as suggested by another rider. I go mountain biking 1 - 3 times per week in the Northeast (XC). I have been using the mount for about four months now. My biggest concern is vibration over time - will that damage the unit. Pretty hard stuff but no downhill - so I guess I don't pound it as hard as some of the hardcore riders that are posting. So far, this has been a very reliable mount - I have only lost the GPS unit one time. The thing is built to military specs, so perhaps not. Anyway - I can recommend this mount highly, especially to road bikers, where it is unlikely to get pounded as much.
This is rugged just like the car mount. I have yet to use it though. I plan to put it on my snowmobile this winter and use the bread crumb feature on rides.
(Thank you REI). It's a terribly fragile. I used this product on my road bicycle. It broke the same way. After a few hundred miles of use, the top loop on the mount cracked, allowing my 60csx to pop out. That's when I learned the trick of using the wrist strap on the GPS unit as a backup.Thinking it might be a fluke, I tried another one. So did the one after that.Now I just carry the unit in my back pocket. :-(
This mount worked very well for me. I had read a lot of the reviews stating that this mount was nto stong enought to keep their GPS on the bike. I mainly do biking on roads and "rails to trails" paths so I am not a "rugged" biker. No movement whatsoever. I enjoy Geocaching while riding my bike, and this was a great addition to me favorite "sport."
