Do you carry a phone with you on long bike rides, jogging??

Nobody here has said they want to be able to text or chat on the phone while they're out-- most of us apparently keep phones with us primarily for safety purposes, not because we're addicted to online communication.

Nobody said "you'd be stupid to leave your phone at home" either. No clue where the notion of a put-down came from.

You will never find me without my phone.  While walking it's in my pocket, and if on a bike I have a little bag that goes under the seat that it and my wallet and keys can go into.  No reason not to take your phone, a million reasons to bring it a long.
