I agree with this. I'm perfectly capable of reaching into my jersey pocket while riding, opening my phone and talking on it, without significant swerving -- it's just that while you're concentrating on the conversation, you're not paying as much attention to what's going on around you -- and if you're riding in an area with traffic, that can be dangerous.
