Shoemaker, Like you I travel light, but because, I do I always carry a cell phone and some cash..
Kuon, You are truly the Boyscout Travel leader of this forum..and Im sure that those of us who take all this rather lightly would love to see you ride up and offer assistance when we're stuck on the side of the road, our flat wont fix, and our cell phone wont work..But if you road on bye, well, we would deserve it..
