I either ride in the lakes region or in Pittsburg. What do you do in the event of a real emergency? Pittsburg does not have cell service and even if they did, would a phone call really help emergency personnel find you? What if you are 25 mile out and there is a true emergency? I hope I never push the button, but I carry a GPS homing device in my upper chest pocket. Anywhere in the world if it were me or someone I came upon we could be found.
