For my normal training rides of <30 miles in which I'm never more than 15 miles from home and rarely more than 5 miles from town, I have no intention of carrying my phone. I know most of you can't fathom that but I reject my eLeash as much and as often as I can.
You are clearly a very capable and self-reliant individual so I think it’s entirely down to your own preferences and I kind of get the appeal of the sense of freedom. Personally I find them indispensable and it’s the one thing I never forget when I leave the house.
The work phone never comes anywhere with me at the weekend though.
