SHOULD WE CARRY OUR PHONES?

THE DARN THINGS ARE SO USEFUL, it's hard to leave them behind. The phones can track the workout, snap pics or videos when inspired or needed...
... and make the emergency call.
I left mine at home today.
It's been nearly four years since I had to make the call of shame,
or summon an uber.
That was for a broken chain,
30 miles from home.
Thinking my bike was solid I decided to leave the thing at home.
How weird to consider that risky.
Just what have we become?
Fraidycats!
Of course, far ...
- from home
- the roads
- help
... as fate would have it.
I realized my frame was either broken or had something broken down near the bottom bracket, hidden behind the spider.
No way to fix it.
No way to summon help.
Had to do it the old-fashioned way...
... ride home slowly, stressing the frame as little as possible.
