But seriously, you think a bunch of crap in your jersey pockets is more aesthetic than an underseat bag?
Yeah because I don't like the bag dangling there, I like the nice clean rear end on a bicycle.
To be honest and most people won't ever admit to it, I carry my phone for two reasons:
1. I only bring along one tube and one CO2 canister. If I flat twice, I'm stuck.
2. This is the one people won't admit to. Once in a while I stop to check Facebook or Instagram or answer a text if I was in a discussion or something interesting before I left for my ride.
