Cell phone and wallet - and if not my whole wallet, at least my credit card, insurance card, and ID. If, God forbid, I ever get a serious head injury, people will at least know who I am by my ID. My insurance card for if I have to go to the hospital. Credit card...well just because.eric_the_red said:I usually have my cell phone in my pocket and, as long as I don't land on it, I'd use that to call for help. Otherwise hope for some nice person to stop and help.
I carry my cell phone and consider it just as necessary as any other emergency piece of equipment such as a spare tube. I rarely use my cell phone just to chat, unlike others for whom the cell phone is an extension of their bodyE500 C.E. said:What do you do if you are solo rode biking and you get in a wreck far from home, and you are to injured to go on?

i just head off out, sometimes with the intentions of getting lost, makes the ride more interesting seeing new sites, i have had one or 2 accidents where the ability to call someone would have come in handy, one rainy day i hurt my hip, sustained a hell of alot of road rash and broke my collar bone, but still managed to cycle the 19miles home.Brunswick_kate said:I ALWAYS carry my cell phone and my EpiPen. I'm allergic to bee/wasp stings and last year was stung. I suspect my ability to type this message today is largely a consequence of the fact I had the immediate means to stop the reaction and to call for help.
It is so on my "don't leave home without it" list.
