Will have to get out bed earlier so I don’t miss the interesting stuff.

Most of those objections apply primarily to people riding at training-level speeds, of course. For casual upright riding, utility riding, food delivery riding, etc., conventional jackets can work fine. I use my cycling jackets for training rides and my regular jackets for shopping rides.

I have a good phone mount that handles all sorts of bumps just fine. I use my phone for GPS and monitoring my speed and mileage in real time so it's very useful to me to have it where I can see it.

P.S. Check OP's forum status.
