The electronic bike tagging is an excellent idea and I think I will now take the plunge and buy one. Having had 3 bikes stolen in as many years and having probably written half a dozen letters now to various London Boroughs to try and persuade them to improve bike rack provision – ideally with a Bykebin like this http://www.theworkplacedepot.co.uk/bykebin-secure-storage – but too expensive and the London Boroughs don’t really care less! Thanks for the article

also I could be wrong but it looks like the price has come down to £97.50.

there is a really good GPS tracker you can now buy for around £120 that you insert in your steerer tube it takes a sim card with appropriate internet bundle (£5 a month on most networks) you swipe a fob over your replaced topcap an if the bike is moved it will automatically send text messages every 5 mins to your phone with GPS map locations and when it can’t do that it’ll continue work off of standard gprs signal system, I would post a link but I’m no good with computers.

Today I bought the Datatag for the bike

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/datatag-security-kit/

but from Evans on a price match. Apparently it is the size of a grain of rice and you stick it inside your frame – I will let you know how the process goes – then maybe you can add it to your Trek.
