FR is designed to withstand a droptest of 80cm (iirc) to concrete. There are no moveable parts inside except battery (which might be a good idea to add a *thin* layer of foam to fix it for good) and vibrator (and speaker membranes). I don't think bicycle vibrations / impact is a big issue. Nevertheless care about proper protection against rain or put FR in a pocket on first drop. Water resistance wasn't a design parameter. /j
