When stopping to eat while riding alone, do you pull out your cell phone and read news, check forums, emails, etc? I used to love to get a paper when I would eat (especially breakfast) but the phone has long since replaced a paper.

Sometimes I think I would be better off to not look at it, as if somehow that would be more appropriate, but everyone else is on their phones, so what the hell? Frankly, I enjoy it, and find the cell phone may be one of the biggest assets for solo riding, as in it is more than just a communications tool. Eating alone and just sitting there isn't exactly fun, so I entertain myself with the phone. I also get texts and emails for business all day, so there is that aspect as well.

All that said, I usually will not just sit and talk on my phone the entire time I am seated. I will answer some calls if needed, but try to end them asap.

What say you? While riding solo, do you phone while you eat?
