Too bad it doesn't come with the GPS back plate
  
This review is from: Garmin Rail Mount Adapter (Large) (Accessory)
If you have a race bike with a light aluminum handle bar, it probably has a diameter of more than 25 mm. Then this mount is the one you need. It comfortably fits any handle bar with a diameter in the range of 25 to 32 mm. It comes with three rubber strips of different thickness to adjust to the proper size.

It is too bad that you need to purchase this mount on top of the bicycle mount that is delivered with the special clipped backing for your Garmin. The standard mount does not fit any rail with a diameter larger than 25 mm.

In my case, I switched bikes and my new bike had a wider bar. So I'm lucky to have a mount now on both the old and new bike. But if you start from scratch, and have wide handle bar, you are faced with two purchases.

It works, but too bad its not included in the bike kit
  
This review is from: Garmin Rail Mount Adapter (Large) (Accessory)
I wanted a bike mount for my new road bike, and I thought it would be nice to also have a car mount. So, after reading the reviews here, I decided that instead of buying the bike mount, I'd by the car mount with this adapter, and hope that the car mount bracket used the same mounting system. It does! So now I have the car mount and the bike mount with the large rail mount.

this is the bike mount for the Garmin eTrex Vista HCx
  
This review is from: Garmin Rail Mount Adapter (Large) (Accessory)
If you have a Garmin eTrex Vista HCx GPS, do not buy Garmin's bike mount because it does not fit. Buy this rail mount instead to mount the GPS on a bicycle handlebar. The adapter that comes with the Vista HCx clips right in to this rail mount.

Unfortunately, this mount is not as secure as the mount Garmin makes for their Edge GPS units and it only allows you to mount the GPS on your handlebar, not on the stem.

poor fit for large bikes
If your bicycle has large handlebars, then be forewarned...this product does not fit on handlebars over 1" diameter. Also, it does not work for the Garmin Dakota.
by epidimos

It's OK
It's a bike mount for a GPS, so there's not much to review. It's a decent design, but seems a bit bulky.

Works as advertised
I have bought 4 of these mounts so I can use the same Garmin gps on 3 bicycles and my boat. One of them is 6 years old and as good as new.
