Keep those cell phones handy

I know we all have 'em. You can't get rid of the things. So we might as well use them. Have a good weather radar application on your phone. I use a web site in the browser, but there are free downloads that can get you very good radar pictures. Get used to looking at the weather map and locating where you are. It can make the difference between getting really wet and just getting wet. :) I was going to hunker down and have some dinner about 15 miles from the house because of a storm system. The storm system changed course slightly and I decided it was better to ride home in a bit of rain, than risk riding home in the dark... on wet streets... while it might still be raining.

As you ride, keep the phone where you can reach it. If you do go down, for whatever reason, you can hope to be easily reach the phone and call for help.

The best safety device is your brain; use it. Ride safe.
