I did one time, but I am much happier when I ride to a) carry my own b) be in the company of another rider who has one. When we cycling in groups, we round robin who carry's the phone. Another tip is to go to a copy machine, copy you license, medical card, allergy items, contacts, on and on and stuff it into your carry pack. This way if there is an emergency, the EMT's have all the supporting items to ensure you get the best care.
