Touchless Control While Biking?

I am trying to determine the usefulness of the touchless control app while I am biking with the phone in my backpack - can anyone answer these questions?

  • I wear a bluetooth headset and listen to music/podcasts - will it listen and answer my "okay google now" commands via bluetooth microphone?
  • Can it be configured to read me incoming emails/texts automatically?
  • If so, does it pause the music?
  • If it pauses music, does it play it again when it's done reading aloud?
  • Is it frustrating to use the device when you aren't looking at the screen at all?
Does anyone else use this phone and it's unique features in interesting ways while biking?
 
I just tried the Droid Maxx with a sired headset/microphone. It behaves exactly the way you want some of the time. Play music, ask a question, get the answer, music then resumes. Sometimes it does not resume playback without touching the screen.
