GPS tracking?

Maybe this is a silly idea , but there are any kind of GPS tracking the bike everywhere even if it is into the garage?

I'm not talking about strava's stuff , i'm talking at some techology that help you finding your bike in case that will be stealed. I'm really worried by that , also near my house some bikes has been stealed.

I have 3 bikes but i love my road as a child


I found something on ebay but that stuff seems pretty unusefull since seems to be the same thinghy to track your dog with a range of 100m , well i'm finding something more large.


I was thinking at some sort of little chip to hide inside the frame and when i want to track it on a specific website... but that seems more related to science fiction.

Look up "GPS tracking systems for bicycles." There are quite a few out there to choose from and depends on how much you want to spend. Here is just one of units I looked at from the search results page. SpyBike GPS Tracker

these seem like a good idea. I am going to put one on my new bike. I also don't turn on my Garmin until I am at an intersection NOT near my house. I can loose a few blocks on my ride total so that nobody knows where my house is. They may find my area but probably not my house.

I'm intested in this device. It's $50 a year, including the device, you just have to remember to charge it. Haven't bought one yet, but I'm thinking about it.

Garmin is a business of "synchronization corruption." I would NOT depend on Garmin for such.
