What To Look For In An IPhone Bike Mount

By Paul Stead


Finding the best iPhone bike mount will save money in the long-term. This extremely useful accessory gives cycling enthusiasts the ability to carry their smartphone with them whilst they do what they love most, cycling. This smartphone has many uses when it comes to cycling. There are a number of cycling specific apps that provide a wide range of functionality. Some transform the phone into a trusted satellite navigation system, iTunes music player or, as a growing number of cyclists are finding out, as an on-board cycling computer system.

The number of cycling apps available for bike enthusiasts grows by the day. Each offers their own unique set of functions and capabilities and brings a new dimension to the world of cycling.

The problem however, has always been how to carry the smartphone on a cycle safely and securely. Carrying the phone in a bag defeats the purpose of having access to all the necessary information when its needed.

The last thing cyclists want is for their phone to unexpectedly pop out of its holder and smash onto the ground whilst they are cycling at speed. This is why it is always a very good idea to look for a holder that is well-constructed, rugged and sturdy. The phone should remain safe and sound in its case regardless of the terrain.

Serious cyclists ride no matter what the weather, rain or shine. Ideally the phone casing should be weather resistant. Even for those cyclists that do not venture out in the rain, those unexpected downpours do happen and a weather-proof case will provide that added peace of mind. The case should also provide a degree of protection from shock and dirt.

The phone case itself should be sleek and not interfere with handling of the bike, especially the brake or gear cables. It should also allow for the positioning of the phone in either landscape or portrait position for enhanced viewing. For safety reasons, it would help if there is a quick release locking mechanism that can be operated with one hand.

The holder should include a case that will protect the phone from rain and dirt, especially for off-road riders. Most cyclists will encounter an unexpected shower at some point and having that added peace of mind knowing the phone will not get damaged in the rain is an added benefit.

The best solution is finding an iPhone bike mount that was built specifically for attaching an iPhone to a bicycle. Considering the benefits the user will get out of the phone and the enjoyment of having all the information at their fingertips, having the right mount makes sense. There is also the added peace of mind knowing that phone is safe, secure and not at any risk of being damaged.
