Book Holder For Your Bike

By John Farrier in Gadgets, Hacks & Mods on Jan 26, 2010 at 5:06 pm

Bike riding can get a bit boring after a while. So why not read a book while you’re at it? The Performance Book Caddy attaches to your bicycle’s handlebars, letting you focus on your text while riding. What would possibly go wrong?

    The liberal bias is so evident on this site its sickening. Look at this post.

    What about the wind blowing you to another page the instant you take off?

    Fail. (x2)

    like zeytoun said it’s not for riding a bicycle on the road. it’s for riding a bicycle on a trainer or rollers in your living room. no wind or liberal bias present.

    Haha, you crack me up, Jazz.

    Also, why would I care that you’re a chick?

    I would dare to use this on my bike while biking a path I know very well, but definitely not while on the street with cars and other bicyclists.

    Also, Cola, probably because she thinks that if she announces her gender she’ll be treated like a little princess because, hey, women don’t use the internet do they? Maybe that was remotely true in 1995 but now, haha, she just looks like a tool.

    Also, “it’s” spelled “it’s.” If you’re going to troll about the intellectual bias of something, don’t make yourself sound like you never passed elementary school. ;)

    Wonder if it’s possible to get done for riding without due car and attention?

    Just wait until some twat cyclist gets smeared over the road because they were reading a book instead of paying attention to their surroundings.

    As Zeytoun said, it’s for perfectly designed for indoor use. I have one and it’s a wonderful way to train in the winter.

    And not to put too fine a point on it, but if you follow the link the item is list in a category called “Indoor Training.” Seems like making an issue out of something that isn’t even an issue.

    i use this on my rollers, and the first time my roommates saw it they assumed it was for street riding!

    @jazz It’s well known that reality has a liberal bias so…

    Um no. I can see it now……

    +peddle peddle+ Oh snap! I’m at the good pa….(VROOM! CRUNCH!) Oh hey grandma! How are you today?

    I use one on my Penguin’s beak so that he can read while waddling around. Only a little twiddling and it fits him perfectly.

    I use one to hold music while playing the trombone while cycling on rollers. Page turns can be a bit tricky. Using a mute reduces neighbor complaints, but the playing cards in the spokes (percussion effect of course) make the cats irritable. Sorry, gotta go – medication time.

    It’s how I first read Lord of the Rings as a teenager, riding along the side of The Somme with the book rubber-banded to my sleeping bag which was between the handlebars.
    In hindsight, of course…

    Wonderful! That’s what I was waiting for. I used to read while driving my car, but now that they took away my driver’s license (I don’t know why) I ride a bike. I had tried to hold a book while riding the bike, but it is exhausting.

    Thank you, Neatorama!

    PD: Sorry for my bad English: I do my best, but it’s not my first language

  17. Book holder?

    This is clearly a laptop holder!

    Good idea, but some nut cyclist will take this out on the road and then complain about discourteous drivers causing the inevitable accident.

    As for “Jazz on your face”, she must make it known that she is a female for fear of being branded gay, maybe. You all know what the “Jazz” refers to here, don’t you?

    I can imagine myself reading while i’m riding my bike and…oooops I’ve missed a big hole…now THAT is something really stupid. Don’t read while you’re driving.

    @medlii now that’s good stuff

    as for the rest of you – I’m always hopeful that the Neatorama commenters’ wit will be par with passiveagressivenotes, but so often it boils down to simple editing insults. Meh.
