Telephone calls whilst riding

The third is the most important - it uses the accelerometer in my phone to detect a crash / fall from my bike. If it does then it will send a text message to a designated contact including my GPS location and a link to Google Maps so that they can get help to me if necessary. My contact knows to check latitude first to see if I am still moving and if it is just a false reading.

Please can you tell me what app you use for this bit ?

There are a few - I've used this one and it has only ever sent out a false alarm once (and luckily has never had to send out a real alarm).

Oh and I listen to music on my bike using some noise cancelling phones most rides. I do this because I love bikes, and I love music -  but most of all I loves bikes-and-music! Ain't no big ting - as long as you can hear the traffic and your revs... you don't have to have it jacked way up. Coz I listen to the music from my phone - sometimes people call and it inturupts my music, but becuasae my ringtone is one of my favourite songs, it's all love! I never answer it though. I go riding mainly so that I can be alone, so that I can think - giving 100% concentration to the road clears all unnecessary thoughts and worries from my head and allow me to digest problems. The music is just a backing track - I only remember it when i look back after the ride.
Each to their own - I wouldn't want to talk on the phone - but I don't necessarily think it's uber dangerous. I quite like the idea of closing a mega deal while bombing down a [private, of course] road at 100.......
