bike while using your laptop

Simplicity rules. I wanted to mount my MAC on my Exerpeutic exercise bike but a web search came back with solutions that demanded a day of work, almost $100, tooling and even engineering skills.

So I told myself I should invent something better. And as usual applying simple rules of economics I started to look at available technologies to innovate as well at low priced goods to use as input. In other words I wanted to lower the cost of production. What did I get?

For $16.04 final price I bought two reusable 16-inch rubber twist ties in a local Home Depot store and followed three simple steps as you can see from the pictures below. The cost associated to "thinking in a solution" was around an hour but for you is zero as I am giving it away for free ;-)

BTW I have been using this already for 15 days. So this is tested and ready for prod ;-)
