how practical will it be to use a magnetic phone mount on a bike?

Was thinking of buying a phone mount. skeptical about how practical a buy would it be.

The peak shock loads when riding a bike are likely to be quite high

You would need a VERY strong magnet to resist the shock force on the phone. Probably so strong that it would mess with your electronics/screen

Why are you specifying magnets.

Is this a mount for a bike that uses magnets or is this a mount with magnets you want to use on a bike.

o way magnets would work safely and pointless when twist lock mounts work so well.
