 I wish I had read the other reviews first Oct 22, 2006
By J. Harmon
I'm not sure why the other reviewers are so charitable, given that they indicate the product does not work properly without help from rubber bands. My GPS fell off twice over small bumps on the first ride. Imagine the horror of seeing your $400 GPS bouncing down the road behind you...
There is no reasonable alternative to mount the unit on the bike, so I will cross my fingers and use two strong rubber bands to augment the unreliable item purchased from Garmin. It couldn't cost Garmin much more to produce a good bracket mount.
Having said that, the60Csx is really tough and designed for abuse. With all the skidding and bouncing, it only has a few scratches on the corners. The display was protected by the design of the unit (it is recessed).
UPDATE: I found one that works! It's a bit heavy, but no problems with this one, no matter how many bumps. It's about $28 or so. Search Amazon for; "RAM Handlebar Mount Garmin 60". You should find it.
Update May 2012: I came back to see some of the other reviews and see a pattern. The satisfied people used the Garmin mount for mountain biking and the dissatisfied people used it for road biking. I think the mount must be susceptible to the sharper chattering of potholes on a road bike with high no suspension and high pressure tires and not susceptible to the softened bumps more typical of mountain biking.

Garmin 60 bike mount Apr 07, 2006
By Bob Lorenz
Be careful with this mount. Use the lanyard as a backup. GPS can and will come loose from bracket. I also use 2 Livestrong bracelets to hold gps in place. The mount broke in two last weekend an inch & 1/2 from top. Just ordered a replacement. I hope Garmin has improved design. This bracket was purchased 9 months ago. It has aproximately 2000 miles of road bike use on it. The Garmin 60 CS is one tough unit. It has hit the pavement more than once and only has a few scatches.

 Sweet Sep 26, 2005
By Paul Talbert
Biked Winter Park this last weekend, the handle bar mount didn't budge even over the roughest terrain. Kept the GPS in good view. Easy to install. If you bike with a Garmin 60 this is a must own.

great on motorcycle too Feb 20, 2006
By Lewis Chamberlain
Mounted the 60c on my motorcycle using this item. Works well. Seems very stable though I wrap the wrist band around the mirror for extra safety.

Solid and easy to install Jan 02, 2006
By Carey Smith
This product performed exactly as expected. It was easy to install, it is a great price and kept my GPSr in perfect position, both for my eyes and the satellites in the sky!
