GPS for your bike.

that is small enough for you to hide under your seat or cut open one of your tubes and shove it in there or some other way to hide it on your bike. put it in your handlebars?

also make sure that you can access it from the company's website or by txting the gps thingy to get the location of the bike.

most are pricy and get them for your 500+ bikes.



or you can just lock them up :D

well not everyone can do that.
like i work at a yogurt joint, can't really put my bike in there =/

this is just a precaution for those valuable bikes.

but ya, the simplest way is just to lock it up

Although a huge ride to find a stolen bike would be loads of fun.
Imagine how freaked out these thieves would be if they knew we could track them down.

I think the bike thieve pasted up the folder twice if I'm not mistaken.

There's a clue right there!

Getting freakin folder if you're worried about your bike being stolen. And no, not all folders are POS. Theres some really well designed ones out there.

Those receivers are expensive. If they were cheaper and could be used correctly, maybe.

I came across this on overstock.com (don't ask why I was looking):
The Club Bicycle Cable and Alarm Lock
Isn't it funny!?


Oh yeah and came across this:
Best Bike Locks- 2005 Tests


And lastly, an Instructable:
"How To Keep Your Bike From Being Stolen"
That one's also pretty funny.
