Wallet, keys, iPhone, sometimes an iPod, cash, maybe sunglasses... Where does a guy put his 'stuff'? If you have a backpack or messenger bag, fine. But what if you don't want to be

I ride a motorcycle and always have a backpack. Most of my keys are in a ring in the backpack. I keep my motorcycle key and my apartment key in my wallet. That is all.
