Hi all,
I do 90% of my rides solo. Which causes my folks no end of worry - esp in the evening. Obviously I always have a phone with me, but that wouldn't do a lot of good if I ever managed to KO myself or couldn't satisfactorily describe my whereabouts to an ambulance if I broke my leg.
So, I was wondering if anybody uses a GPS/SPOT style device when they are riding by themselves?
I had a look online, and this sort of device doesn't seem outside the realms of realistic pricing for a little piece of mind: http://www.findmespot.net.au/spot-gen3-gps-messenger
Curious to see what others think/do
