good idea! If i were going to college, I'd just be riding an old beater, cause people wouldnt want to steal it. and if they did, ah well..
that would be a good idea for any bike.Even your own. cause if it got stolen, crack open the ol' GPS thingy, and you know where it is.

Oh yeah, in this town - worth the money.
Fact is, only the more expensive bikes are reported. The number for the whole city is about 3600 so far this year - reported being about 10% of what actually gets taken.
wow.. only ten percent..
They should fill the seatpost with plastic explosive and when the bike is stolen...
Heard about a dude in San Fran who would just leave his bike sitting in front of the bar. The thing is, he would undo the v-brakes and San Fran has some STEEP hills.

that's really a sweet idea. I wonder where they put it on the bike. They can make the transmitters so small, that they could probably put it just about anywhere. It sucks that so many bikes go missing. I hear stories all the time and it just makes me cringe.
when I was on campus during my undergrad, i hung my road bike up in my room above my desk. The RA warned me to put it in the bike room, but with my bike being worth a ton, and something I couldn't afford to replace at the time, I didn't dare. The bike room was in the dorm, but anyone living on campus can enter the dorm between 7 am and 9 pm. At my last apartment I put my bike in my bedroom again. A neighbor had an older bike stolen from his second floor balcony, and the garages just weren't safe.
I was lucky that my campus was small enough that I didn't ride to get around, rather I just rode for fun/training. One of the pros to going to a small school. I'm so paranoid about someone stealing my bike that I won't leave it anywhere. It's either within arms reach or locked inside my house.
