Anyone leave their cell phone at home when riding?
I do not ride without my cell phone to often but when I do it's the best riding for me because nobody can call or text me. It's just me the bike and the open road ahead, a feeling of freedom from the connected world, sure i can turn off the phone but find myself turning it on again.
Anyone feel that way or is it just antisocial me. Lol

plus on that "I take mine most of the time in case of break down. I leave it on silent because that is the last thing I want annoying me while I'm trying to enjoy myself."

I most alway have mine. I commute to work so its a must, along with my lunch and sometime a gym bag. Also I live in a backwoods rural area. Breakdown or have an issue and its a long walk. Been there, done that back in the day, wasn't fun then and would suck now...Its not like when out for a ride, you are texting or on the phone...or not supposed to be anyway. Really.

I just ignore mine - I'd guess, riding or not, that I ignore about 19 of every 20 incoming calls. I've never understood why people feel like they have to answer a phone.

I always have my cell phone in case of an emergency, but if someone tried to call I wouldn't hear it ringin' anyway...doesn't bother me at all.

I have it in case I have to respond to a work-related incident, or in the event of a roadside issue. But's it's on silent, in my jacket or the saddlebag.

I always bring my cell, I too am very good at ignoring calls.. As mentioned before, never know when you might want to get some photos, not to mention break down..
I also use the GPS on the phone often to locate ride spots, I think I would feel a little lost and powerless without my trusty phone..
There have been occasions when at a long light and a fellow rider calls, I answer the phone just to hold it down by my exhaust for a few seconds, they get the point...
