Buying a bike mount is a lot like buying clothes—one size does not fit all! There are many features to consider when choosing a bike phone holder—durability, function, style, theft deterrent, materials, ease of installation, and more.
How much did that latest and greatest state-of-art smartphone or iPhone cost? Do you really want to risk losing or damaging it because your bike’s phone mount let you down?
Before choosing a smartphone or iPhone holder for a bicycle, answering the following questions will quickly weed out inappropriate choices that won’t meet your individual needs.
- Are you attaching the bike phone mount to an outdoor bicycle, an indoor bicycle, or both?
- Are your bike riding conditions particularly rough, gritty, and dirty, or are you cycling on fairly smooth, consistently paved terrain that is relatively free of bumps and cycling challenges?
- Does the bike mount need to hold a phone or a GoPro camera?
- Do you cycle mostly in mild weather or in all types of weather?
- How much are you willing to spend to get the features you desire?
- Where will you be attaching your phone mount?
