Exercising while watching your favorite Netflix series is a great way to reduce the perceived effort and make your exercise more. For those who care so much about their performance, a phone on the handlebar can provide real-time data on how well you are doing. Additionally, the phone may show a useful exercise guide.
With a MagSafe bike mount, you can attach your iPhone quickly to the bicycle handlebar and start pedaling. There is no need for the cumbersome installation process.

Belkin Fitness Mount
The Belkin Fitness Mount is a durable handlebar strap that can be installed on a stationary bike, treadmill, and more. This mount features a strong magnetic pad that allows an iPhone to be attached securely while exercising.
The strap can fit into any gym equipment that is no more than 1.5 inches in diameter. Additionally, the 360-degree rotational ball joint lets you adjust the phone angle in any orientation. Another interesting feature is its double-sided magnet, meaning the strap can magnetically attach to a smooth vertical surface while holding your phone.
Moment Strap Anywhere Mount
Moment is an established brand for iPhone-related accessories. The Moment Strap Anywhere Mount goes what it describes — you can mount it anywhere. The mount is made from premium silicone that is durable, sweat-resistant, and can hold your phone securely.
The pad comes with a special (M)Force magnetic array that will keep your phone in contact even in a shaky workout. Best of all, it’s designed for one-handed operation, so you can easily attach and detach your phone instantly.
Mighty Mount MagSafe Bike Strap Mount
Although this article primarily covers MagSafe mounts for stationary cycling, Mighty Mount offers something on another level. This bike mount is literally made for outdoor road cycling. It can be installed on your bike with a strap or clamp configuration.
But, instead of putting faith in the MagSafe’s magnet, this mount adds a silicone rubber to provide extra grip to keep your phone from falling when cycling on rough terrain. Additionally, the mount features extra hinges and a 360-degree ball joint for quick and easy adjustment.
I personally won’t trust it on my bike, but hey, tons of bicycle phone mounts are secured with just rubber. I suppose the combination of rubbers around the corner and MagSafe would make things safer.
EWA Bike Phone Holder
Let’s continue with a MagSafe holder that can be used for outdoor biking. The EWA Bike Phone Holder utilizes the same principle as the Mighty Mount’s bike mount. It holds the phone with strong magnets and provides extra security with two safety silicone bands.
The mount works on a clamp system, ensuring a perfect fit on the handlebar. Furthermore, the 360-degree ball joint helps you reorient the phone screen in any direction.
Although EWA shows mountain biking and motocross on their promotional page, I think it’s more suitable for a stationary bike, road cycling, scooter, and golf cart as they experience rather small vibration.
Bone Magnetic Fitness Phone Mount
The Bone Magnetic Fitness Phone Mount is primarily used for gym equipment like a treadmill, spin bike, and stair climber. But it’s also suitable for everyday objects like a shopping cart and baby stroller.
With MagSafe design, any iPhone since the iPhone 12 can be attached and removed instantly. For non-MagSafe devices, the manufacturer includes a magnetic sticker in order to enjoy the same benefit. Similar to Belkin, Bone has a double-sided magnet, which lets the strap be placed on a vertical smooth metal surface.
To further protect your iPhone in the event of falling, consider opting for good grippy cases.
