But seriously, you think a bunch of crap in your jersey pockets is more aesthetic than an underseat bag?
I agree with the sentiment but if I were involved in a crash or a wipeout sufficiently ugly that I couldn't fix the bike and continue, it would be nice to be able to call for help.
It's also handy if I'm cycling a significant distance to visit someone I can let them track my progress with something like Latitude.
