New AA service

Quite a good idea I thought. The AA will send armed assistance to you even if on a bicycle.

Think it's a good idea? Practical for cyclists?

sounds good, but then we are relying on the security companies of whom "some" are extremely slow.

I have a similar thing with Momentum. I have never used it but it also works via their app. When you open the app there is a "button" at the bottom of the login page that says hold for 2 seconds to initiate alert. I don't pay for it but I guess it is worked into the premium.

Sad that our society has come to this but great that people are responding to the threats.
