Where do you put your cell phone
I mean while cycling. This seems to be a pretty lame question, I put it in my pocket, but it keeps bouncing around when I pedal fast and I do not carry a backpack or messenger bag with me

I carry mine in a jersey pocket. Never really had an issue with it bouncing around. Perhaps your jersey is too baggy.

Wasn't there a thread like this about a month ago????
Anyways, I typically ride in shorts with cell phone pockets. Phones don't have room to bounce much in there. Wrangler Hero Originals and Dickies are my faves.

I put my cell phone with my keys and multi-tool, in my Jandd seat post bag. I'm really happy with it.

Yep:
https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=97717
And the cell phone my father loaned to me ended up in pockets of jackets I wore through the winter, in the bottom of my backpack, sitting on my desk, or wherever. It seemed to migrate around and I often lost track of it ... it would be months between times when I thought I might use it, and I was forever losing track of it. Now that I'm in Australia, I'm once again cell-phone-free. For now. My husband is threatening to get me one and put it in my handlebar bag for when I start cycling again.

In the handy dandy case it came with attached to my belt or waistband. Occasionally in the handle bar bag pocket. I have one with a camera that comes in handy on occasion.

Inside a ziplock bag to protect it from the sweat, then inside my jersey pocket.

Depending on how far I am riding I will put it in my jersey or in a bento bag. I have ridden with it in the side of my bra at times.

In a little bag just below my handlebars, with the Halt!
I answered it while riding this past weekend (in very rural Indiana, no traffic) and had my first-ever wrong number call while riding a bike and first-ever phone call while riding without pulling over and stopping. Kids! Don't try this at home!

I don't mean to poke the O.P. -- but can't people figure anything out for themselves anymore? Do we have to turn to the internets to find an answer to the simplest of problems?
If someone said the best place is to slide it right between your butt cheeks, and someone else concurred, would you? Or would you stick with your gut feel and go with that handy place people have been stashing stuff for centuries -- the pocket? And if that's no good, a man purse (or some other type of bag). There aren't any new magical options that are being kept from you!
Lather. Rinse. Repeat if desired.

Then don't. Yeah, it's a minor concern, but so what? The OP is looking for opinions, nothing more.
I keep mine in a handlebar bag, or in a jacket pocket, depending on the weather. Frame bags are also convenient.

I keep mine turned off to save the battery and then wedged into my under seat pack. I fried a cell phone I used to keep in my jersey, due to sweat.

I'm having a hard time imaging jersey's where a cell phone can bounce around in the pocket. Are those jersey's made of cotton or something? All mine are syntheic material and the pockets are snug. Nothing bounces around at all.

I first noted backpacks with dedicated cell pockets about 10 years ago, which is fairly recent.
I first noted pants and shorts with dedicated cell pockets about 3 years ago, even more recent.
The first is much better than just tossing in the pack, since it's easier to find. The second is much better than a regular ol' pocket, well, because of the OPs complaint about cell phone in a pocket, it bounces a lot. Both of them are better for your phone in that the phone won't get all scratched and dinged by keys, change, tools, etc.

I put mine in a frame bag. kinda small even for a BB pearl, but works til I can find something better. Need to find a way to get my BT headphones working better outdoors or get a handle bar location bag so I can use headphones. Although I dont like the idea of being wired to my bike.....more often than not the buds will get ripped out of my ears when I get off the bike and forget bout them.
