New Theft Tracker Is Like LoJack and OnStar for Your Bike

If you've ever had your bicycle stolen, you're probably familiar with the frustration of  losing your two-wheeled mode of transport. A Chicago-based startup is addressing that pain point with a gadget that alerts your smartphone when your bike is tampered with and makes it easy to notify the police.

The creators at Team BikeSpike developed a beacon of the same name that easily attaches to your bike and tracks its location through your phone or computer, and you can see how it works in the video above.

Bike gets lost? Similar to Apple iCloud's "Find My iPhone" feature, you get text and email alerts and can track the cycle's location on the web or through your iOS or Android smartphone.
