DIY "platform" for iPad WITH keyboard case on BikeErg

[lookitupkid]

I already have a RAM Grip mount that can hold my iPad without a case, and it works okay. But I wanted to be able to use a real keyboard and not peck at a screen, because I do journaling, studying, etc while I'm pedaling. So this ridiculously cheap thing is what I came up with. And it's awesome!!! Plenty sturdy and gives me a great surface for typing while pedaling. Sometimes I'll take a breather and just stand straddling the bike, and it's like being at a standing desk with my iPad at the perfect level for doing work. Looking at it from a few feet back, you can see the zip ties underneath it, but other than that, it looks at a glance like something I bought somewhere.

Supplies:
8x11 cutting board
Long zip ties
Drill
Rubberized mat (actually the BikeErg Floor Mat that I opted to never actually use, so I butchered a bit of it for this project)
Glue
