Dear So and So

Rebecca--can you tell us a little more about this? Sounds interesting.

I'd like to know about the gps tracker too.

just saw this....I use a tracker called Spybike. It’s made in the U. K. and I bought it last year in France. It fits into the steerer tube so you can’t tell it’s on the bike. Using a sim card it also communicates with your phone for configuration, movement warnings, battery levels etc. They were going to release one that fits inside a seat post. Don’t know if they have yet. It did take me awhile to figure out the best configuration. I only have to charge the lithium battery every two months+ to keep me in the range of 4-5 months of battery use. I’ve done test tracks a couple of times on rides into the santa monica mountains, to my office and back home and to a friends house.


There is a Portland woman, Kris Akins, who is developing one called Bike Trak, which I heard will have one model designed to fit in the handlebars. It will probably be a good one according to a friend in Portland who knows about the development of it. Akins is also doing an app that will let police officers see a pop-up on their in-car computer or smartphones when a Bike Trak equipped bike registered as stolen is within 500 yards and can then help zero in on it.


Dear Michael

I prefer saying ‘independently owned and operated’ to your saying my marital status was ‘single looking for a husband’
Thankfully…no, make that I’m grateful….this contract is now FINISHED…….
