This site has a useful bike security FAQ: http://www.baitbike.com/Security_For_Your_Bike.html http://www.baitbike.com/Security_For_Your_Bike.html Q: Isn't there a GPS device available that I can hide on my bike? A: Yes, however, while GPS is cool, it does have several drawbacks when used on a bike. First, it is power hungry and a bike doesn't have a power source like a car does. Any device installed on a bicycle would need to be powered by an internal battery and thus would need to recharged on a daily basis, weekly at best. Most consumers would simply be riding around with a dead battery 90% of the time. Second, the devices are still too large to be able to effectively hide it on a bike, keeping in mind that it would not work if hidden within the metal frame. Third, while the cost of GPS devices are coming down, there is still the monthly fee that is needed to connect the device with the cellular network and to access a tracking website, usually $20 to $40 per month. If you are still interested in putting a GPS tracking device on your own bike, take a look at www.accutracking.com for the most affordable solution that we have seen.
