  1. Yeah I agree. The market wouldn't be big at all here in SA. Perhaps an international launch would be a better option. I would have to look at all possibilities
  2. Would people be interested in buying it? In my opinion I see a need for it, but I don't know if people will part with a little cash for something they may or may not need.
  3. Yeah that's the basis my friend and I are designing it on.
  4. Is it not better than riding in the bush and crashing, getting knocked unconscious, and losing blood? I would much rather unravel the wrist strap to reach into my pocket (about 10 seconds max). And with regards to the bushes, you'd be getting a face full of bush if it's hooking onto the string. Who knows, maybe those bushes have thorns in and they take your eyes out. Good thing you'd have the device to call someone.
  5. If the planning is right and the product works well, I believe I can sell thousands. I believe there is a need for items like these as it can get someone help when they can't get it themselves. It gives them a lifeline. I'm still doing research at the moment. Maybe thinking of a partnership with one of the major network providers as well as er24 or netcare.
  6. Hi all. I came on here to ask for all your advice. I had this idea a while ago but I've been busy finishing school so I haven't been able to pursue it. This year I am taking a gap year in order to see if I can make this work. First off, I know there is another device called the ICEdot crash sensor But I have read numerous reviews, and the majority of them say it doesn't work. My idea is having a normal cycling computer, with a wrist strap attached to it and to you. If you are involved in a crash or a fall, the attachment on your wrist will be removed from the device, prompting an alarm to be sounded. If the alarm isn't turned off within a minute or two, it sends your location to emergency dispatchers, or family members so that they can send professional help. Would any of you be interested in buying this product if it arrives on the market? And if any of you awesome people have advice, please share. Thanks, Daniel
  7. Hi guys and girls. Wasn't sure where to post this. I just wanted to ask about the process regarding cyclists being hit by a car. This afternoon I was hit riding down Gibson Drive West. A lady turned in front of me and I rode into the back of her. My wheel is completely broken. I have all her details. Any more advice? Thanks
  8. I saw a carbon bianchi at the engen in bedfordview a week ago. Was 21:00. No cyclist in the building but a guy next to it talking to his friend on a R200 make bike. Anyone 'lose' one in the area? Black with green accents
  9. I would love to ride to school but unfortunately I am not allowed. So I just ride when I can
  10. Are the details for this ride still the same? 40kms, 2 groups etc.
  11. I wonder why South Africa is the most unequal society in the world where all the black people are poor and white are rich
  12. Hi, I'm looking for a buddy to go riding with. Road or mountain biking. I need someone to do chasing a racing with. I want to become like the great break away specialist from the 2013 tdf- Jeremy Roy. ???? Ave speeds 28-30 on road but will vary. Mountain bike - just push each other. Thanks in advance
