I was on my way to the grocery before heading home so, being a man of the 21st century, I put my bluetooth over my ear and phoned my girlfriend to see what was needed.
About the time I asked how we were on milk, a middle aged man on a very nice Specialized MTB decided that we did, in fact, need milk, so he told me to pick some up.
To put this into context, I was on a 'greenway' trail, a paved trail reserved for bicyclists and pedestrians. I frequently use this trail as a way to get to the dirt trails.
To me, it falls into the same category as a road. For this guy, it seems I was stepping on his toes by having a conversation on my cell. Which I can sympathize with but...
What's your opinion on cell phone use while riding?
