KW: Bicycle Phone Mounts.
Because there are so many cycling applications that are geared toward riders and can be used for training and navigation, our smartphones are becoming an increasingly valuable tool. Naturally, this indicates that a greater number of riders are seeking ways to attach their phones to their bicycles.
Even while the greatest bike computers include everything you could possibly want into a small, bike-specific box, some riders prefer using a smartphone instead, particularly for hybrid and commuter cycles.
Both options have their advantages and disadvantages. A specialized bike computer will not deplete the battery of your smartphone, it will be developed exclusively for the task at hand, and it will allow connectivity (usually both ANT+ and Bluetooth) to a broad variety of peripherals.
The usage of a smartphone, on the other hand, eliminates the need to purchase a separate device and typically provides a user interface that is straightforward and simple to navigate. Additionally, there is an increasing number of applications, and in general, you always have your phone on you for brief journeys by bike, which makes it a popular choice for riding to work.
If you do decide to use your phone while riding a bike, you should make sure that it is installed in a safe and secure location. In order to determine which of the most popular bike phone mounts are actually worth purchasing, we put them head-to-head with one another.
