Re: Cell phones while riding

I like Dave's approach. One should have the cell phone on, because
the built-in GPS will tell emergency services where you are. You
could have an injury that prevents you from turning on the phone. But
turning off the ringer can ensure non-technological privacy.

What's it like in other parts of the world? Does "everyone" on club
rides bring a phone? Do people answer calls while riding in a
group?

I always bring one, in case of some emergency. I keep the ringer
off, so
no, I don't (usually) answer the phone while riding.
