Can't recall many people trying to read a book on a bike.
For some reason they seem to think it will work when the book is electronic and small enough.

Do you mean a stationary exercise bike?
I don't read books on those because I am usually sweating and I don't want to get that on the book. Also, most paperbacks are pretty springy, so sometimes I need to have one hand holding them open, or some kind of clip system on the bike.
iPads or Kindles don't have these problems, so I can certainly imagine using them instead. I don't, probably because of an irrational aversion to getting anything from the grungy gym on my personal devices.
My unscientific, purely vibes based take is that the ubiquity of the smartphone has created such widespread severe dopamine addiction that basic human judgment and even self preservation instinct is increasingly impaired.
You may be surprised to learn people do text and bike. I’ve done it on occasion when running late to a meetup with friends.
It’s … not very safe.
