sadamhussein Posted June 18, 2015 Share I dont really want to carry a backpack just for a cellphone.... Suggestions PLEASE Kim Welcome to Mountain Biking! Often the best solution is the one overlooked. I ride with Fox shorts which have pockets. yes, pockets! With this genius solution I have the option of putting my phone in one of the two side pockets or in the zippered and more secure lower pocket. It works like a dream. The shorts also have a built-in lycra short with padding better than most padding I've experienced on dedicated road-oriented cycling shorts such as First Ascent and Anatomic (this is MY opinion anyway).The other nice thing about these shorts is that you don't have to flash your private parts at the world when you walk into Pick & Pay after the ride. They also make dedicated women's cycling clothing and a pair of shorts will set you back around R600 (at the Fox store in Menlyn). Have a look; http://shop.foxhead.com/store/products/Womens/category/cat890010;jsessionid=73696F89746467A138DADC17857C44DE?mode=1&categoryNavIds=cat20008%3Acat20134%3Acat890010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAGecko Posted June 18, 2015 Share Welcome to Mountain Biking! Often the best solution is the one overlooked. I ride with Fox shorts which have pockets. yes, pockets! Fox make great kit.

T-Bob Posted June 18, 2015 Share First and last time I stuffed an Iphone in the leg pocket of my baggies I slammed nice and hard leaving a massive bruised welt, where it hammered at the angle into my thigh. Sometimes having a phone made of metal isn't a great idea... and gorilla glass wasn't that tough. Backpack or jersey zipper pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadamhussein Posted June 18, 2015 Share First and last time I stuffed an Iphone in the leg pocket of my baggies I slammed nice and hard leaving a massive bruised welt, where it hammered at the angle into my thigh. Sometimes having a phone made of metal isn't a great idea... and gorilla glass wasn't that tough. Backpack or jersey zipper pocket. My phone once did an excellent job at protecting me from the handlebar that was intent on digging into my thigh during a crash. the phone was bent and the gorilla glass shattered. but i was actually glad because there was a round handlebar shaped indent in the back of the phone. BTW. if you do ride with it in your pocket, screen towards you will save the phone in most off's. Just a heads-up, middle back pockets are not the greatest idea, there recently was a guy who's one vertebrae was dislodged during a crash by a pump in his backpack. He is now paralysed. In the end, having the phone on you, you run the risk of breaking the phone or yourself during a crash. It's a risk you take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
