Apologies if its been done!

New free app from guys at cycling+ mag.
Available on apple with android version coming soon.

Might find it handy - particularly the solo road riders among you.

🙂 ^
Heard of the rideID? Thats a wristband with your details on Incase of an accident.
This is similar but you set the details as your phone lock screen.

Then strap your smart phone to your wrist?

Seems legit.

Anyway.

I have an actual RoadID, as my issue with anything phone based is if you have had a crash then chances are your phone might be in several bits.

Also, I worry someone might call for an Apple Genius to fix the phone, before calling an actual ambulance.

True, plus people may not necessarily go through your pockets (guess that depends where you have an incident!) ) if they find you but as a free app I think it's worth a shot
