Ridersmate is a gadget that looks out for you if you're out and about in a secluded place and riding on your motorbike, bicycle or even your horse if that's what you ride. This gadget automatically sends text messages to let others know if you might be in trouble.
The Ridersmate unit is clipped onto the rider, while a cord on the other side of the device is clipped onto your ride. If you fall off your ride, the cord will come loose from its plug and prompt the sending of a message via GPRS. The message can be sent to up to three different people of your choice, and will alert them to your GPS coordinates, altitude and time of the incident.
