I was in the middle of the Smoky Mountains on US441 and felt something slapping my leg, looked down, and it was the flap on my cell phone carrier! I've since put a draw string on it and chained the carrier to my belt on the other side. I hate losing stuff, but it happens!

Reminds me of last summer... My son and I were on our way back from an excellent day's ride up the Forest Service roads to Windy Ridge, overlooking Mt. St. Helens. I was following him when I noticed something go bouncing off the pavement and into the weeds along the shoulder of the road. Thought he had just hit some swarf on the road. Nope. It was his cell phone that had fallen out of his unzipped jacket pocket!
I told him not to bother going back to look for it, as last I saw, it was in at least four or five main pieces, heading for the weeds!
+1 on always having a spare key for the bike. Mine is in my wallet. Last thing I do before pulling on my gloves to ride is check both zippers on my jacket pockets where the wallet and cell phone reside...
