cell phone demise

[tzvia]

I don't leave my cell (a very nice HTC PDA with all kinds of stuff in it) in my pockets when I ride. One crash, or forgetting to empty my pockets before the spin cycle and it's gone. I put mine in my seat pack, in a plastic baggie in case I forget to remove it before washing my bike. When I crashed and totaled my frame a few months ago, the phone was fine, tucked away from the carnage against a soft spare tube.

Same here, but in a bubblewarp. I often turn it off during my riding, since I might not be able to hear it ringing.

I have find it handy for recording my riding information. I can break my riding into several parts and take a voice recording about my riding information from my bike computer up to now. Good for training.

I used to commute on my bike through some rough areas in Washington, DC. After nearly getting knocked off my bike by some rock-throwing little thugs, I decided that my phone should always be on my person because they were after my bike. If I ever get that iphone, though, I'll wrap it up in bubble wrap or something.

Silver's lost a couple of them to "saturation" while in her pockets on long hot summer rides

I have a waterproof, shockproof model simply because it does bounce around alot

i used to see so many cell phones/ cell phone shards on my 24 mile route, it was insane.

will definitely put it next to spare tire from now on, I had it in a "front" holder...and yes, I already washed my ipod shuffle clip, clipped to my clothes at the gym, and didn't get a new one to punish myself... glad to hear that you've seen a many cell phone on the road, I thought I was uniquely idiotic...
