cat-i Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Cycle Lab and Tracker doing some research into cycle safety. And a R3000 cyclelab voucher up for grabs in a lucky draw. http://bat.iyoq.co.za/TRCycle/TRCycle.htm
cat-i Posted April 21, 2015 Author Posted April 21, 2015 More market research than safety, really ...
maidenmole Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I exited the survey because it's market research veiled as cycling safety research. Not cool.
velomonatiCT Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 this is nothing to do with cycle safety its market research to sell you electronic bling and junk bump it
Shebeen Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 How long does it take? Can always fill it in worth bogus answers to waste their time.... Think having a teacher for a wide could be handy here
Paul Ruinaard Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Filled it out - they want to sell you a safety tracker for R 1700-00 per month icw Tracker that has a 5 hour battery life, a 5 minute reporting interval and they want a R50 per month fee for the service. Its a crap piece of tech if you ask me and another thing you need to carry. Honestly just write an app - everyone carries a cell phone. Hardware solutions are so dead these days. The cell phone has all the sensors to do it. THere are cell phone apps like eblockwatch that do it.

Joe Low Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Hey Cat-I, why not change the thread title to "Another marketing con - Cyclelab this time"? It will draw the right crowd.
HOEKVLAG Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Done, maybe I can get that first pair of Assos bibs....
cat-i Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 MySOS is quite a handy app for just this. You specify who it must contact in an emergency; it sends your location. It also gives you the contact details and location of the closest hospital, fire station, sea rescue, fire. Haven't used it, so no idea if it actually works - but the concept is cool.

I accidentally used it once while messing around just after I had downloaded the app and received some panicked calls from my emergency contacts.. So it does work.
HappyMartin Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Yep you can use a phone. Only problem with that is when the nice man put his 9mm to my head it was the phone he was asking for. Some little thing I could hide away I would carry. I ride a lot on my own.
