Others insist on being able to repair absolutely anything so that they don't ever have to cut a ride short. I can't remember the last time I actually needed my multitool, but it's nice to have it with me in case I want to adjust something (seat height, handlebar tilt, etc.). Flats happen, so I always have stuff to address that (different provisions are needed for clinchers vs tubeless vs tubulars).
See, I never ride with my phone. For one thing, I have older bikes and most of them aren't worth as much as a replacement phone. Second, I don't really have anyone around here to call. All my family and friends are back east. I'm kind of on my own out here.
