Cellphone Cyclists

[VeloVT]

I always have my cellphone with me when I ride, but I also always turn the ringer off before I go (not to vibrate, but to "all sounds off").

Hey I can always check voicemail at stops if I need to.

Sometimes I forget to turn the ringer back on and people get mad at me though ...

I often see people "exercising" on the bike path -- rollerblading, running, etc -- while talking on their phones. In my opinion if you can hold an intelligible cellphone conversation you're **probably** not breathing hard enough to be getting much exercise.
