I read on another forum where some guy was wearing a cross around his neck and during a crash the cross penetrated his NECK and missed a main artery by about an inch, the cross was about an inch long and it buried itself up to the fastener. I knew a guy that never had a seat bag because he stored all of his stuff in his jersey pocket, he crashed and his CO2 cart, or the inflator, he didn't know which, damaged his back so bad he needed fusion on one disk; I read on another forum where the same thing happened to a guy but it was mini pump that did the damage; and read about a guy who had a Walkman (this probably happened in the 90's when those things were common) wore it on his side crashed and severely bruised his kidney. I never carry anything back in those pockets other than soft food. I knew a guy who had been riding a bike for 30 years all over mountains of California, probably averaged 50 miles or more a day died of heart attack, so I leave my heart at home when I go riding...

Guys, this post became must bigger than I expected. As you all see there are various points of views, other need to store their keys, others don't take keys, other never had this problem and others don't even know what keys or sports clothes are. Others see it as a potential problem - myself included - others never faced this issue. This doesn't mean one is wrong! It's just a discussion and for those that think it was not a valid question, then just see the discussion it caused.
Don't ask me for any further explanations, I don't have any. I don't see any point.
I was just wondering, hence my initial post! That's it!
FYI, I think I posted above, I've been using a small frame back and a small seat bag for this, BUT I wouldn't like them on my bike. It all comes down to preferences.
It's a discussion and I can't see how one could be right or wrong, except the haters of this post...

I’m a bit of a minimalist in terms of what I carry on my rides (20-45 miles), so I tend to travel pretty light. I have my water bottle in the cage and everything else goes in an Ortleib Micro Two seat bag. It’s so unobtrusive. It snaps into a very secure mount on the underside of the seat, and I have additional mounts on two other bikes so I don’t need multiple bags. If I go into a coffee shop during a ride, I unclip it and take it with me. I’ve used it securely on my road, gravel and mountain bikes. I carry a Co2 inflator, my iPhone, small tube patches, a couple tire bars, a few $$, and my keys. I hate carrying stuff on my body (we all have our little quirks, I guess). Other than duct taping my keys onto the frame, this is my best solution. Sorry for the size of the pic - I couldn’t get it to reduce.
