Solar powered payment, locking system

I'd probably never fit on one, but I am interested in this GPS tracking software stuff.

I would love to be able to hide a transmitter on my nice bikes and be able to pick up a signal if someone decided to snatch it.

There's something you can get called the Zoombak that is a smallish transmitter (about the size of a beeper--small enough to hide under most seats) that can send you a text message or email if it goes outside of certain set areas and that allows you to track the location online. The device costs about $100 - $150 and there's a $15 monthly service fee involved as well. We got one for my autistic son who elopes, but people also use them for pets, cars, laptop bags, etc. A bike makes perfect sense--I wish I had had mine on my bike when it got stolen!

The bikes are cool, but I like that the machine is solar powered even more. I also like the rear LED that lights up when you pedal. Pretty cool system. I've always liked Canadians; and now I like them even more!
