Display heart rate and other stats on the phone while biking

I commute to work by bike and I would love to be able to see and log my current heart rate along with my current biking stats (e.g. distance travelled, total time, current speed, etc…) all from my phone mounted to my bike

I agree this would be a nice feature

This should be available for all activities. To be able to monitor your HR & zones live on your mobile device. Great for the treadmill, elliptical, rowing machine, etc.

I have the Charge 5. When biking it's about impossible to safely scroll the screens looking for time, distance, MPH etc. It would be great if there was a way to have all this, plus your heartrate on the screen of your phone where it could easily be seen. Also, auto pause when biking would be great.

It would be awesome.

I use my Pixel Watch to track my cycling. I always want to see my stats during the activity. When I want to do that, it causes too much distraction for me since the watch screen is small to read. It's just dangerous for that activity with high speed. The stats on the watch are quiet useless for cycling. But, having the stats on the mounted phone would be awesome, and usable.
