I have a generic phone holder for cars, that happen to fit the 
freerunner. I plan on attaching the other end to the cycle, shouldn't be 
hard to do.

I have also found that for mapping, bringing the phone in a jacket 
pocket is sufficient. Just get a fix first, as the phone need good 
signal quality in order to download orbital data from the satellites.

Such high quality is not necessary for keeping the fix thereafter, so a 
pocket is fine. Use a headset if you also want to do voice recording 
while bicycling.
