I put this in road cycling since we generally dont have racks, and storage on our bike.

I use a saddlebag. It attaches with a clip so should be secure (ortelieb micro). I still worry and check on it constantly.

Looking at saddlebag reviews I see people generally keep tools, and a tube in there. And wondering, where do they keep stuff like keys, wallet, and phone?

Thanks!

Lots of us wear cycling jerseys, which have pockets in the back, handy for stuff.

Many toss stuff in a plastic sandwich baggie before going in a jersey pocket, but there are classier solutions if one prefers.

Never take a wallet.....phone goes in the jersey (don't even know it's there) and my fob slides into the saddle bag.....

Back jersey pocket.

I fit tube, 2 CO2, tools, cellphone and keys in a Top Peak Wedge saddle bag, the larger expandable size. I only bring some cash, drivers license and a credit card (vs. full wallet) which fit in the little mesh pouch on the inside of the bag. On rides where I need to carry more, I put have a Revelate top tube bag - I've never liked carrying stuff on my body.

I rarely drive my truck to get to the start of a bike ride but if I do, the wallet stays in the vehicle. Cash, key, cc, and phone go into a small pouch and then into back jersey pocket. I either use a small top tube bag or a larger seat bag for tools and rain jacket.

Yeah, between emergency info being accessible off a locked iPhone for emergency responders and services like ApplePay, I have no need for a wallet.

Drivers’ license and credit card would be redundant; I’m old enough that I don’t get carded for alcohol anymore. 🙁

There was an identical thread started a few months ago.

My phone is my wallet, my car key and my music so I always carry it in my back pocket (food in the left pocket, phone in the center pocket and spare tube and Co2 cartridge in the right pocket). If there is an emergency, my personnel information can be found on my phone using the emergency contact information feature.

I assume you don't use the obvious cycling jerseys so the only option other than bags is the newer shorts/pants being sold with L and R side pockets for phone which I find great and allows keys, etc. to have a home as well w/o a jersey..

My jerseys have a small zippered side pocket as well as the standard 3 pockets in back. I use a mini-wallet that holds my medical insurance card, ID, and a few dollars. Fits right in and zips securely. Phone goes in the center rear pocket. Tube and tools in a saddle bag, and I use a 12 Speed Products garage door opener that fits into the end of my handlebar so I don't need house keys. If I drive to a ride event, my car key fits in the saddlebag.

I have a Ford. Keys stay in the car. Phone goes in the rear jersey pocket. That's all.

I carry a phone in jersey pocket, keys and ID, cliff bars in top tube bag.

Just adding/asking…of the items mentioned that you take with you…which would present the most heartache if lost? Do you really need it on a ride? Sometimes things in jersey pockets come out inadvertently and unnoticed. It’s happened to me, and in most cases I did notice it and went back to retrieve it. But a couple times I did lose important items. Phone? I consider it a necessity for use in the event I need a pickup. And, of course, for recording the activity with the fitness app. Keys? I generally ride from/to my house. But on those occasions I do drive somewhere to ride…I hide the key and leave it with the vehicle. Wallet? I also generally don’t like to make pit stops during my rides. Nevertheless, I know that sometimes a bit of cash is necessary so I keep some in the saddlebag (or a credit card). Nothing else in my wallet is necessary during my rides.

I use one of those cloth folding wallets with velcro. Tuck my flip phone inside it. So neither will ever bounce out of my pocket and the phone will be padded in a crash. House key and my bike lock keys on my Leatherman which I keep in a small leather pouch. (That early Leatherman is hard on jersey pockets. Killed a few jerseys in its day but one of my best tools ever. Those pliers!)

Edit: I want my ID and medical info on me in hard copy. My good sam might not be 2020 literate. And that stuff on me because I have seen bikes and injured bodies separated.

Sure, I could use my jersey pockets, but sometimes I don't wear a jersey with pockets. I use a small lumbar ("fanny") pack from North Face (The North Face Jester Lumbar Pack). Easy on, easy off, everything viewable and reachable. Holds my car keys, phone, driver license, insurance cards (car & medical), credit card, a little cash, reader glasses, and a little snack. I never see anyone with a lumbar pack including anyone my riding group. But that's okay, lol.

No wallet. CC, phone, some cash and other stuff inside a small dry bag in one of my jersey pockets. I'm a heavy sweater in the humid south. Plastic baggies have failed before. House key inside vehicle. Auto key is hidden somewhere on outside of vehicle. If you crash, people might have trouble retrieving your key/vehicle. Plus, with the cost of replacement matching fobbed keys, why take the chance. Tools/repair stuff are easily replaceable, so they go in a bag somewhere on the bike. I have a medical allergy to a class of meds that might be given at an accident so I wear a Road ID bracelet with that info/emergency numbers as well.

I also throw in a fresh pair of undies and socks just in case.

I usually take my driver's license, debit card, and a little cash, put them in a small ziplock bag to keep them dry, and carry them in my jersey pocket. I don't need my whole wallet on a bike ride. If I have a car key, I sometimes put it there was well, or sometimes in the little tool pouch under my seat.

The other jersey pocket carries nutrition, usually a few packets of Gu. If I want to carry a wind/rain jacket, it might go in there as well, or sometimes tied to my frame with an Occam Apex strap.

All of the above applies to my road bike. If I'm riding one my bikes with a handlebar bag, everything just gets tossed in there.

Any health insurance card is handy. Ask me how I know.

Along with the jersey pocket recommendations, this seems like an obvious solution...

My secret service bodyguards carry all that stuff.

rsbob 

All of those items the OP lists easily fit in back jersey pockets as well as - mini pump, banana and energy bars/gels.

Seat bag carries all repair items.

Important med info needs to be on your person where the responders will be looking for a pulse.(necklace/bracelet) Otherwise, it could get seperated during an accident.

Everything goes in the frame bag. Tools, phone, keys, spare tube, mini pump, windbreaker in the winter, etc. I ride in a t-shirt most of the time, and for around 2-3 hours at most, so no snacks needed, but if it's a proper ride I'll wear a jersey and the extra snacks go into those pockets.

I don't take my wallet. Phone and keyless fob go in jersey back pockets. Usually a mini-pump goes in a back pocket too.

MinnMan

Yes, there was an identical thread not so long ago. At that time, I had my money, credit card and ID, door key, garage door opener, etc. in a ziploc bag in my cycling jersey. Some time ago I got one of these



as swag when I volunteered at a race. It works great. Unfortunately, it's not big enough for my phone, which therefore goes in a different jersey pocket.
