In my pocket... doesn't really bother me for some reason. Speaking of keys I've got Surly's wrench/bottle-opener on my keychain. It's pretty dope. Although honestly the bottle opener takes a little getting used to.

I don't trust carabiners on a belt loop. I've once had one snap and luckily heard them clink in downtown traffic. I just throw the keys in my bag now usually.

I carry just one or two essential keys. I keep them, my id and some cash in a small leather wallet I can either keep in my small wallet or else in my petit sized handlebar bag that fits below the handlebars.

In some neighborhoods I keep them in my right hand with the keys protruding between my fingers if I am off the bike. Otherwise in a pouch on my pannier.

as one person mentioned above, this is the solution:
The key will stay out of the way if you wear it farther up your arm (past the elbow).

This is a good post. And it does suck. I'm trying to engineer (and by engineer, i mean look really really hard for) some type of "smaller than a messenger bag", but "bigger than a pocket" type dealie to keep all my necessities in. Which sucks when your other messenger bag is a purse. Even when I'm down to the barest of all necessities, I have crap in EVERY SINGLE POCKET. So, then where am I if my pants don't have pockets?!?

Caribiner on the belt loop (like most everybody in BFSSFG) for the most part. If I'm wearing athletic shorts, I clip it onto the d-ring of my courier bag.
