What did we do before all these technological wonders????
When I ride, I pretend I'm riding just like I did 10 years ago...phoneless. No different.
I use a cell phone for work, etc., but only when absolutely necessary. Never on the bike.
I think the abuse of cell phones equals that of e-mail. Nothing worse than having the person in the next office shoot you an e-mail. When you ask them why they didn't come talk to you live they answer, "I communicate better via e-mail." Go figure....
Technology is good only if used in an appropriate manner.
