Best way to carry cell phone on road bike?

[Irulan]

I'm a mountain biker, and based on the number of cell phones I see crammed into camel backs, stuffed into seat bags, jersey pockets, I'd suggest that most folks don't worry about vibrations etc. I do see a fair number of shoulder holsters on camelbak shoulder straps, if you need access. My one Freeride pal straps her's to a stem holster

If you do carry it in your camel back put it in a plastic bag you can get it wet from the condensation of the water especially if you put in a lot of ice like I do on hot days, Or if there is a chance you can get caught in a rain storm. I also wrap mine in paper towels to help give it some padding in case of falls and I don't want it slamming into me and hurting me even more.

if I wear a camelback, this clips on the shoulder strap

BTW with reference to earlier threads about cell phone's in an emergency, most cell phones let you program in a custom greeting or message that displays when you turn the phone on. Lots of people put cute messages, slogans, religious sayings etc...

mine now says the same message as on my road ID, that is who to call.

I put my cell phone in its case & it goes into my back jersey pocket - or fanny pack if I'm just wearing a sports bra with no pocket. So far, no problems. Kids carry cell phones these days, so they have to be fairly bullet proof, no?

Mine sits in my jersey pocket now, used to be under my seat, but I figure it gets less vibration on my back than in the juddery seat bag... plus, if I need it in a rush I can get it without stopping the bike (if being 'chased' ) or without having to crawl to bike (if just crashed)

Before I had a seat bag I wore it inside my crop top in a plastic bag to stop sweat messing with it...

I use something similar to this on my right arm. Works great.

Check at your LBS............ I purchased a Trek cellphone carrier that velcroes to my stem. Comes in a couple of different sizes, to fit different phones. It is right there, in front of you, so very easy to hear if it rings. I don't know, but would guess that there might be other brands that also make cellphone holders, specifically for the bike.
