T-Bob Posted May 4, 2014 Share mmm, sadly, they had no time to act I meant with your new device... Hopefully it will give people in that kind of situation a chance to react and get out of it. Edited May 4, 2014 by hellocolour Seepglad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seepglad Posted May 6, 2014 Share Website calling for interested parties now live at: www.backtracker.io "We believe that every cyclist has the right to a better ride." Backtracker is a radar-powered device that simply and smartly helps to take care of your cycling safety. It tracks the difference between potentially threatening rear-approaching vehicles and regular traffic, leaving you to get on with what you're here for - the ride. We'd love to keep you in the loop with how far we are from putting Backtracker up for pre-order. From sneak peeks to final tweaks, let's kick the conversation into gear.

droo Posted June 24, 2014 Share I'm going with a special kind of traffic cop that actually maintains law and order on the roads. It may have to be imported though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockCoach Posted June 24, 2014 Share Nice idea. If you carried a device which activated the speakers in a following car kinda like when you get cel interference - or some other sort of warning. So this annoying sound gets louder and more frequent and higher pitched as proximity decreases and or direction is deemed to be too close to a collision. In other words, if a driver decreases speed and changes course slightly to maintain a 1.5m berth when coming up behind a cyclist, they won't get an annoying noise.

GroenHoender Posted June 24, 2014 Share A pity I missed the iKubu / Backtracker event - then again, I actually got the email this morning (24 June) informing me of the event on 24 June at 18:00. That was a bit too short notice for my taste. But a buddy of mine went to have a look at the gizmo. From discussions with him, it sounds like a very very interesting gadget but expensive! Then again, one's life is worth the expensive gadget. I would love to see more features build into it, such as a GPS tracker, allowing my loved one to check from her location (or via phone) where I am (either down and out with accident, or still driving around, or with bike stolen). Almost like iPhone's "Find my iPhone" (to track and find bike), as well as Endomondo or Strava GPS feature (tracking route, candence, speed, climbing, etc) combined ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
