This sounds like quite a wacky project. But i
gotta admit, it sure is fun to try to think of how to
make something like that possible. my own thought
towards That end is to get some metal strips, a 12x12
piece of plywood and some short screws as well as
something to keep the board from tilting when it is
latched onto the bike. after that all you gotta do is
figure out how to lash a laptop onto the plank of
wood(which shouldnt be too hard).
now that ive told you how to do it, i want to
know who in their right mind would actually read while
they are on a moving bicycle going somewhere(exercise
bike i understand, but road bike???). and on top of
that, how do you scroll down while riding?lol
of course you would also have to make the font
huge, i would think it should be at least 24pt to be
legible as you fly by joggers and the like. then again
this is from the perspective of a NYC person, you dont
see many of those crazy bicycle messenger guys doing
this sorta thing, heh.
thats my 1.5 cents(the other half a cent goes
to income taxes).
