Whether you’re a competitive cyclist or just in it for the ride, having your smartphone accessible on a bike is important for checking maps, tracking performance statistics, and snapping photos. A well-chosen bicycle phone mount will keep your device securely mounted, stable and easy to access while you’re riding. Our experts evaluated mounts in the lab and out on the road, including putting them to the test on a variety of bikes and terrain to assess their stability, security, ease of use, compatibility, and accessibility.

Ease of Use

A bike-mounted smartphone is more than just a convenience for commuters; it’s also an invaluable tool for serious cyclists, says Maria Restrepo, a personal trainer and cycle instructor who often uses fitness and cycling apps to track her performance. For this reason, she looked for a mount that was rock-solid in use and easy to install on her bike.

For example, the Peak Design Out Front mount fits onto nearly any handlebar or stem with no tools thanks to rubber o-rings that can be tightened or loosened by hand. Its click-in, snap-out design is similar to that of a Garmin or Wahoo device and makes it simple to use. You can orient the mount to sit at either a portrait or landscape angle. And it comes with a phone case (or adapter for your existing one) that’s compatible with wireless charging, making this mount a solid choice for riders who want to go all-in on tech.
