And yet people in this here NG scoffed when I mentioned that the much
bigger 60Wh Li-Ion battery on my MTB is mounted in a shock-buffered and
crash-proof box plus has an emergency off switch.

I'd never wear an electronic device with a Li-Ion battery in a pocket
while mountain biking. My cell phone rides in the right pannier, always.
On the road bike as well as the MTB.

Are there Lycra shorts with pockets over the bicepts femorus (back of the upper leg, below the butt)? Seems like a weird place to put a pocket -- and a weird place to put an iPhone.

The shorts I'm wearing -- not cycling shorts, but just a pair of chino
shorts -- have front pockets that would allow the phone to swing to
about where his burn is. Many mountain bike shorts do have pockets,
too, so maybe he was wearing those or not bike-specific costume.
