I always found the anti-theft protection employed by Chevette in William Gibsons Virtual Light really cool.
The bike would issue a verbal warning to anyone coming to close, something like „back off buddy“, „keep your hands off or you’ll regret it“ and finally an electric shock to anyone trying to tamper with the lock without her fingerprint.
Not sure how effective it would be in the real world though
- Doxin 3y agoI've got a motion alarm on my bicycle, which is in the same vein I suppose. If my bike gets jostled it'll first do quite a stern beeping. If it keeps getting moved after some seconds it will produce a LOUD alarm. If nothing else it'll annoy any potential bike thieves. Of course any thief with an angle grinder can easily pop the metal zip ties the alarm is attached with, but then an angle grinder is probably going to be louder than the alarm in any case. My tactic has always been to make my bicycle slightly more annoying to steal than any of the bicycles next to it.
