Theft-Proof Smart Bike

The bicycle is an excellent exercise machine. You can hop on to the lightweight bike and get a good workout on both city roads and cross country. The only thing is, that the very portability and ease of use of the cycle also makes it an easy target for thieves.

A simple cycle lock is never truly secure enough to keep it out of the hands of a determined thief. What then is the solution to keeping your bicycle safe? A company called Vanmoof offers the solution to theft- proof your bike.

They offer a smartbike in three or eight speed versions that has a computer chip and GPS system built into the very frame of the bicycle. This allows you to track the distance you peddled, the speed, and a number of other variable statistics.

What is most remarkable is that it allows you to always know exactly where the bike is thanks to the GPS. This means that even if some thief does make off with your cycle, you will be able to trace him down pretty quickly.

So confident is the company that they even offer a free replacement if you are unable to trace your smartbike for some reason. Now that’s a science project that I can get behind full heartedly.
