Count me in as one of the people who isn't graceful enough to talk and ride at the same time. I can retrieve my water bottle AND drink but that's about it. I've never been able to ride with no hands, even when I was young. I do carry my phone with me when I ride but it's on vibrate. If it rings and I'm at a chance to stop, I will unless I'm having a great ride and don't want to

I guess I don't know why people have to do it. I understand if there is something going on (like when my dad was in the hospital, I had my phone with me at all times) but rambling conversation? I also don't understand why people don't care that we hear all of it

Dunno. I don't want to judge but then again there is nothing worse than hearing a loud monologue about somebody's friends STD. And yeah, I will talk on the phone but I'll go lurk in a corner or something -- I just feel goofy walking around talking to nothingness.
