Ride far enough and you have to worry about keeping your phone topped off. My favorite battery pack is currently on a great deal.

When you ride long distances battery power becomes an issue. My favorite choice for keeping my phone topped off while riding is the Anker MagGo battery pack and right now it’s on sale.
If you want to read more about how I use it in my own riding and the times you might consider it for riding a bike, check out my recent article covering How I Survived a 600KM Gravel Adventure on a $16000 Tour De France Winning Bike.
Anker MagGo battery pack (37% off)
Anytime I do long distance riding I have my phone connected to my Garmin headunit to broadcast my location so my wife knows where I am. I also have music playing via headphones. That kind of always on, constant, connection drains the battery and my phone is my lifeline in 2025. When things stretch out I make sure I have this battery pack with me.
The reason I choose the Anker MagGo is that it simplifies my setup. The Qi2/Magsafe capability means all I have to do is stick to the back of the phone and put the whole thing in my jersey pocket. It doubles the battery life on my Google Pixel 10 Pro XL (also chosen specifically for long distance riding) but it’s also a constant companion off the bike.
When I’m traveling the Anker MagGo battery pack is right there with me as well. The kickstand makes watching movies on a tray table easy.
Colors are cool. I have the green Anker MagGo battery pack but this deal applies to every color option.
