NORTHBROOK, Ill., June 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Allstate Insurance
Company (NYSE: ALL) today announced the launch of GoodRide by
Allstate, a one-of-a-kind motorcycle application any iPhone user
can download for free. The app is available immediately via the
iTunes App Store.
Unlike other motorcycle apps that focus solely on favorite ride
routes or bike maintenance for a fee, the all-in-one design
of GoodRide tracks rides, stores trip details and allows users to
share everything with their social network - free of charge.
"The only thing more important than protecting the motorcycle is
protecting the rider," said Bob
Wasserman, senior vice president, e-Business at Allstate.
"GoodRide serves as an extension of the company's commitment
to rider safety and will help make the road both more safe and
fun."
App features include the ability to:
Log Rides - track your routes, time and mileage for each ride.
Add comments and a photo to every trip and store everything in the
app.
Track Rides - connect to Facebook and Twitter and share the trip
with family and friends.
Plan Rides - with everything from the rider checklist to local
weather and gas prices, GoodRide helps prepare riders before they
hit the road.
Keep Maintenance Logs - track every oil change and every flat
tire. Set service alerts and keep the bike in top condition.
Call Good Hands Roadside Assistance - call for accident support
and bike-friendly service vehicles will be on their way.
An Android version of GoodRide is scheduled for release in the
fall. To view an online demonstration, or to learn about other
