It's an advantage of being 50+. Used to ride solo all the time and there wasn't any such thing as a cell phone (well, not smaller than a lunchbox anyway). I get along fine without one on the bike. (I do have one, mainly just to ask the wife what she wants from the grocery store when I'm out). People know not to call my cell, I never answer unless I specifically tell someone to call me. I've never needed more than a tire repair kit on the road, anything else and I could limp back one way or the other (I've had "single gear" a couple times, just dealt with it). Maybe partly that's because as a kid, there was no such thing as "take your bike to the bike shop" you fixed it yourself or lived with it (for me, mostly the latter).
