Of course, everyone rode for years without phones in their pockets, and the world didn't fall apart. However, these days, it seems almost foolish to ride without one, simply for emergency reasons. Personally, I consider my phone at least as important as my tube/tool kit, and both have bailed me out of issues on the road.
