(I HOPE the rider stuck the tape to itself and used it as a cradle for the phone instead of taping directly to the device.) I've used the light on my phone (an actual light on the tiptop of it, though, not its screen) when stuck before. Lay the rubber band (or two, just in case!) so it's oval-shaped over the top of your handlebar. Stretch the overhanging ends down so there's space between the ends of the rubber band and the bottom of your handlebar. Then, insert phone/flashlight/etc. facing forward. The rubber band should hold the phone snugly to the handlebar, and the friction from the rubber should keep it from slipping out. When in doubt, more rubber bands are better than fewer. I've used this to hold paper tubes upright on the back of my crate, too (http://www.commuterpageblog.com/2008/07/bikes-as-suvs.html).
