So how many emergencies do you have? I'd be too scared to ride if I thought that all of the stories that I read about on the board were the norm. I don't carry a cell phone with me when I ride, and can't recall an incident when I wished that I had one with me. In the interest of full disclosure, I don't feel like a 2 or 3 mile hike-a-bike is the end of the world. That's just another part of life's experience to be embraced.
