Technically this happened yesterday, but I'm still pretty mad at myself.
I've been riding my ebike pretty frequently to and from work. It's a short trip and basically the same amount of time as a car would take, so it just makes sense. My bike also has a cupholder, and I've been placing my keys in there to avoid being stabbed by them.
Yesterday, I had the brilliant idea of putting my headphones in there. I was trying to reduce clutter in my pockets and make it easier to peddle. Well, I hit a few bumps that were a little larger than usual, and with the traffic and trying to keep my head on a swivel I didn't notice my headphones bounce out of the cupholder.
I made it all the way home only to discover my massive error. Rip the $200 to replace those...

Honestly losing the headphones is totally awful, but I'm ngl, when you said you put your keys in there I thought you were in for way more trouble than some lost headphones. Haha

That sucks! Time to get one of those handy baskets you put on the handle bars, maybe? 😬

I wish. Alas, they were wireless with one of those case things. Lost to the aether, unfortunately.

oh shoot. did you lose them entirely, or did they just hit the floor and break, dangling along behind you by the wire?

Probably wireless so they're just gone

A backpack is the best thing ever. I put headphones, laptop, food, hoodie in there when going to work and it is so easy to carry around. Even moreso when biking.

Oh, I know. That's the best part: I was wearing one. 🙃

This is why I'm a cargo shorts guy.
Stylish? No.
Secure? Most definitely.
