You’re Going on a Ride for How Long? At Least You Have Your Crash Sensor.

Posted by on Oct 5, 2012 in Cycling | One Comment

My husband rides and races bikes.  When he trains his rides are pretty long (well, they are on the weekends when he has time anyway) so  I like to ask how long he’ll be so I have a gauge of when to call the search party.   My follow up question is, “You have your phone, right?”  And he always replies, “yes.”  Sometimes he rides with other people and sometimes he rides alone.  The fact of the matter is, if something happened to him while he was riding (alone or not) I’m at the mercy of other people to alert me to an emergency. Having the ICEdot Crash Sensor changes that fundamentally but here’s something else it changes that you may not have thought of: my point of view.  It’s an old phrase or cliche but it gives me “peace of mind” and in return that gives him more freedom.

Of course my husband is free to go on long rides but if I feel less worried about him riding that makes him feel better about it too and the freedom to go a little further.

 

So this appeal is to all of you that have felt the “heat” from a loved one when it comes to worrying about you when you get on that bike.  The ICEdot Crash Sensor will ease some of that worry because at least they can DO something if there is a crash.  And at least they’ll know WHERE you are because many times us loved ones don’t.

You can go to our indiegogo.com/icedot campaign and learn more and buy a Crash Sensor today.  Right now ICEdot is selling it for $150 which is less than a GoPro, less than a Garmin, less than most people’s monthly health insurance payment, less than most helmets and could not only save your life but could make the person waiting on you to come home feel a lot better.  I hope whoever is reading this finds value in that.

 

 



The ICEdot Crash Sensor attaches to a helmet and notifies emergency contacts of a crash and your location. Be the first to own one. Sign up for our Crash Sensor newsletter and we'll email you when it's ready to purchase.

    Love sending that text… “Going for a ride. I’ll be home in about 5 hours. Don’t call me, I’ll call you.”

    Totally concur. I can’t wait to have a crash sensor. I am sure my family feels the same.
