WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Don't just take our word for it.
"I was riding down a usually quiet country lane, when a car almost hit me. I had to swerve to avoid being hit and ended up down a steep embankment.
I was unconscious for some time, bike completely snapped and a few broken bones. After nearly 15 minutes my husband turned up and I couldn't work out how, I thought I was imagining it from a bang on the head! Busby had informed him
I'd been in an accident and sent my exact location, unbelievable! My injuries were pretty bad and help was able to get to me even though I was unconscious in a hard to find location.
Every cyclist should download this app!"
