This is the whole 'cycling is dangerous' shiTT that helmet-makers try and instill into us.

CYCLING IS NOT DANGEROUS ...

Frankly I'm appalled ....

It's an extension of the "must carry dog tags with my blood group" philosophy.

Mind you slowmo, handy when we're so pi55ed after a FNRttC that we fall asleep somewhere, like a train or summat?

^^^^^^^^ What on earth is this strange fellow talking about???????????

I think it's a great idea.
I always cycle alone and often find myself on very quiet roads and I think this would be a nice thing to have.
There is no need to buy it if you don't want it, ride with friends or on regularly used roads but for many people, it will be a handy thing to have.
Shame it's only available for iphones.

I quite like the app but i don't think it's necessary for cycling. I think that any serious accident will most likely involve a motor vehicle, which legally they shouldn't leave in you in the gutter without checking that you're okay first.

Really?
The only reason I'd buy it is for staggering home from the pub ....
How many people each year are left in such a situation? The pub app would be much more useful.

More than you might presume ………. Me for a start.

I believe that there is some kind of GPS tag that parents of gap year students can give to their children. When they get mugged, pushed into a ditch in Laos or Mongolia, remaining immobile for a set amount of time, up comes a mobile alert back home.

That passes as progress these days.

I find my teenagers ability to remain motionless and comatose for days on end is remarkable .... I wouldn't want their phones bleating and waking them up poor dears ....

It must be passed on to them by their genes.

Well having just downed the best part of a bottle of this:

It's time I was comatose too .... xx

Sleep tight Fabbers.

Then use one of the many free apps that allow your phone to be tracked?
