Is it safe to carry items in the your cycle shirt pockets??

[Grey Hubs]

Strange question, why are Saddle bags deemed "uncool"?

 

Had the bulk of the items in OP's shirt been in a saddle back, he could have possibly sustained less injuries...

I'll rather take the pain than the shame  no saddle bags

Always carried stuff in my pockets - phone, bombs, adapter, plugs & tool, multi-tool, quicklink, levers & gels. Crashed plenty, no injuries resulted from cargo in pockets other than a burst gel.  

 

PS: Why carry a shock pump??

I only carry my phone, energy bars and gels in my back pockets, everything else goes into tool bottle holder which I've mounted in a bottle cage on my seatpost.

Cycling is not a safe sport. Period.

If we wanted safe, we would have tried MMA.

I am unfamiliar with that measurement. I need to know if it will fit in my jersey pocket? 

 

It will. But sometimes you need to take a few bites first, Which isn't really a problem for me.

Tell us about your phones 

 

Forgot about that, school fees. Make sure screen faces inwards, that is towards your body.

Safer for you or the phone??

Smashed screen on a rock, think I had the phone for a week.

Who even carries tools, that for noobs. Just make sure your mates you ride with have all the kit and use their stuff. Camelbacks, tools in a can and saddle bags are all uncool.

I see you have managed to find the worst bomb tool in the world. Mine is in the bin near simons town.

Sshht! This only works when only one of us are doing it. Don't let them know know my secret.

Keep the back clear of sharp and bulky objects

Reserve your pockets for egg sandwiches and gels

 

Use a saddle bag rather and/or the tube of your frame

 

(Hydration packs used to be hydration packs, which is ergonomically cool; these days it has turned into backpacks which poses a risk)

TUBE OF THE FRAME??? Have you cut off your sleeves, taken off your socks and become a try athlete?
