What do yall do with your phone while riding.  I put mine in an under the seat bag with my vehicle keys.  I wear typically basket ball style shorts.  It is secure under the seat . But it takes some effort to get to it.  I run the tracker map my ride.  TY

I wear proper MTB shorts, and keep my phone in one of the zippered thigh pockets.

You could also use a handlebar mount, like SP Connect. I have one for my ASDV motorcycle, and I've never had my phone come out once. Even with me dropping the bie on it's side a couple times.

I use the SP Connect for the cellphone and a RAM mount for the camera on my bicycle's handlebar.

However, I only use the SP because the bicycle came with it.  There are several others available.  I would not use it for the cameras, hence opting for the RAM, which can handle a lot more abuse, depending on your riding style and where you go.

Ok while searching possible different holders I ran across the subject of phone damage due to shock and vibrations.  I ride gravel roads.  Any truth my I phone / camera is going yo get screwed up ??

I use QuadLock on my motorcycles and mountain bikes.  Have never had an issue on either.

I ride gravel in NE TX.  My phone is usually in my frame bag.

Have never had any issue regarding vibration and chatter.  I do make sure there is nothing up against the screen that may cause scratches.

Have thought of running a handlebar mount but I'm concerned about damage or ejecting the phone in a crash.

Depending on how hard you ride, I use one of those silicone strap things that attaches to the head.

I keep it in my top pocket of my frame bag usually. Depends on the kind of ride. Sometimes I'll use the top tube bag.

I use a very expensive carrying bag for my phone that goes into my rear pocket on my kit....

What is this magical carrying bag??  Freezer zip-loc bag . This works with my phones (yes I have to carry two) and keeps all the sweat and junk off them.

Sure taking pictures is a pain...and for messages and calls I use my iWatch and head unit.

I have been doing this for ten years now.  I get at least 4-5 months of use out a my expensive bag
