Bike phone mounts should excel at three things: security, durability, and convenience. Roam’s Bike Phone Mount checks all of these boxes and then some, making it our best overall pick. Its premium plastic and heavy-duty silicone net construction ensures your phone stays secure even on the toughest rides, without cracking under extreme shock or weather conditions.

The mount includes an adjustable clamp that can fit almost any handlebar size and an expandable width to hold devices of most sizes. The freely adjustable arm allows you to rotate the angle of your phone’s display, so you can always keep it in view. Plus, we love that it comes in at a budget-friendly price.

However, this phone mount may not fit on certain clip-on style handlebars. Also, some users have found that the secure silicone netting can make it difficult to insert and remove your phone from the mount at times. But we think this extra security is a plus if you often cycle on bumpy terrain.

You don't have to break the bank to enjoy a high-quality bike phone mount. Featuring many of the same design elements as higher-priced models on our list, IPOW’s Bike Phone Mount is streamlined and durable. We like that the weather-resistant silicone netting stretches to fit phones of almost any size—even devices in protective cases, like the OtterBox.

A plastic clamp makes installation a breeze, no tools required. And between the clamp and the netting, you get a solid six points of contact to keep your phone securely in place. Plus, the mount is adjustable, so you can tilt your phone and rotate it a full 360 degrees for comfortable viewing.

Some users have noticed that the silicone reduces the usable area of their phones’ screens. Others note that, while this mount works great for casual riding or commuting, it may be insufficient for more rigorous off-roading. But if you ride on fairly even terrain, you can’t beat this mount’s price point.

Biking in the rain poses its own set of challenges, but B-Land’s Waterproof Bike Mount is up to the task. We like that it has a built-in waterproof phone case, so you can keep your device safe from the elements and still stay connected.

The case is touch screen sensitive, so you can access your maps, music, and messages while your phone is inside. And the extendable arm is both waterproof and adjustable, allowing you to angle the phone however you'd like while remaining confident that it’s fully protected. An included magnet you can attach to the back of your phone provides added peace of mind.

This phone mount is on the bigger side, making it a great fit for larger phones, like the iPhone 13 Pro. That said, it may be too roomy for smaller devices. Weighing over 17 ounces, it’s also one of the heavier mounts on our list.

When you're going on a long-distance ride or commuting to work, you don’t have time to stop and worry about your battery dying. We love Bone’s Collection Phone and Power Bank Mount because it’s low-profile and can fit a portable charger, so your phone is always juiced up and ready to go.

Because it’s a stem mount—meaning it's designed to fit on to the stem of your bike, not the handlebars—your phone can only be placed in the stretchy, silicone frame upright. It’s also worth noting that the mount can’t rotate or tilt your screen.

You'll have to purchase a portable charger separately if you want to take advantage of this key feature. But we love that it’s simply designed and lightweight, so you can set your phone up and forget about it while you ride.

For biking on roads, sidewalks, and bicycle lanes, a barely-there phone mount you can count on is key. We recommend Nite Ize's Wraptor Rotating Smartphone Bar Mount—with its sturdy construction, this mount can handle the occasional bumps and vibrations of road biking without sacrificing your device's safety.

Its rotating joint also allows for 360-degree rotation, so you can easily adjust it to any viewing angle. And the clamp design (which fits both stems and handlebars) ensures a snug fit no matter what type of bike you're riding. While it comes with standard silicone grips, we love that the design doesn't block your device's touchscreen as much as other models do.

Users note that the snug fit can make it a little challenging to insert your phone at times. And since it’s so lightweight, this mount may not be the best choice for biking on trails or off-roading. Still, we think it’s a great value for the price.

The inevitable bumps and swerves while mountain biking mean you need a phone mount that can weather your ride. We recommend Quad Lock’s Out Front Bike Mount because its patented dual-stage lock keeps your device secure and in place as you ride over rugged terrain. (One user even noted that, after wrecking two bikes, this mount held onto their phone both times.)

It also fits both stems and handlebars, so you can use it with any type of mountain bike. And we love that you can quickly detach your phone with just a quick tug.

One downside is that this mount works exclusively with Quad Lock phone cases, which are sold separately. It’s also more expensive than other mounts on our list—excluding the price of the additional phone case—but we think the investment is a worthy trade-off if you regularly hit the trails.

^{Key Specs:
Mount Style: Spring-loaded locking mechanism | Works With: Stems, 35-millimeter, 31.8-millimeter, 25.4-millimeter, and 22-millimeter handlebars | Rotation: Yes | Weight: 2.9 ounces}

Your options may feel limited when it comes to carrying extra items securely while you bike, but ROCKBROS’ Phone Mount offers a great solution. This front-frame bag clips to your bike’s stem, with a waterproof case to slide your phone into and a large, water-resistant pocket for anything else you need to bring along.

We like that the carbon fiber pouch has ventilation holes to prevent your phone from overheating. And a shield on top of the case blocks sunlight, so you can easily check your GPS or messages. Reflective details on the sides of the bag are also ideal for keeping you visible while biking in low-light conditions.

But while the clear case lets you swipe and type to your heart's content, you won't be able to use touch ID unless you take your phone out. ROCKBROS’ Phone Mount is also heavier and bulkier than others on our list. However, if you're a regular bike commuter or long-distance rider, this storage-friendly mount will quickly become your go-to.

^{Key Specs:
Mount Style: Pouch, clamp | Works With: Stem, phones under 6.5 inches | Rotation: No | Weight: 7.1 ounces}

If you prefer indoor cycling bikes, Belkin’s Fitness Mount is our top pick to keep your phone in view. Its innovative design comes with two mounting options: a magnetic mount that attaches to any metal surface (think a bike frame, weight racks, or other gym equipment) and a handlebar strap that fits most stationary bikes.

Not only does the 360-degree rotation allow you to get the perfect angle for your device, but the ultra-strong also won't budge when you get a notification or incoming call. But because this mount is just a magnet, it may not be strong enough to hold larger phones.

It’s so lightweight and easy to use, we think this simple mount may immediately become your next gym bag staple.

^{Key Specs:
Mount Style: Strap, magnet | Works With: Handlebars, iPhone 14, iPhone 13, and iPhone 12 | Rotation: Yes | Weight: 1.9 ounces}

Frequently Asked Questions

• Should you mount your phone on your bike?

  If you regularly use navigation or fitness tracking apps during your ride, then a phone mount may be a good idea. There are no specific laws against mounting your phone onto your bike. However, it's always a good idea to brush up on your state's guidelines first. Also, exercise caution when using a phone mount and be aware of your surroundings while riding.

• What’s the best way to mount your phone on a bike?

  The best way to use a mount is to attach it to either your bike's handlebars or stem—the part that connects the handlebars to the frame. Also, be sure to consult the manufacturer’s instructions for any specific installation guidelines that can protect your phone from potential future damage.

• Does mounting a phone on my bike damage it?

  Over time, constant vibrations can damage your phone's camera. Opting for a mount that has shock-absorbing materials and reinforced corners can minimize this risk. If you do mount your phone on your bike regularly, be sure to inspect your camera from time to time to ensure its integrity. Using a protective phone case that is designed to withstand the elements also can help.
