I don't own a cell phone.

Hi All,

Around here in Norway cell-phone "market penetration" is about 98%. On
club rides it seems like it is 99.9%. I hate having a cell phone on a
ride. Part of riding is getting away. If I'm on a 5 hour ride, I'm on a
5 hour ride. What do I need to know that can't wait til I'm finished? I
only ever bring one when I am riding alone on my MTB and my wife
insists. She is concerened that I will crash and succumb to hypothermia
lying in the woods someplace.

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?
