- listic 16y agoDo you mount your phone on the handlebar? What if it gets wet? I have bought Garmin device[1] for hiking and mountain biking specifically so that I wont' need to worry about it getting wet. And for long battery life and changeable commodity batteries, too.

If I had the money I'd get something like this: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=160&pID=10885 https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=160&pID=10885
