Second Hand stores is a good point and the powerss that be are looking into it as I believe the LARGER ones can make use of it for a start and as the concept catches on it will expand
The idea has been put forward to the insurance companies, some car insurances have picked up the concept and now it is getting exposed to household and cycling insurance!!!!
Firstly tje dot is almost invisable to the naked eye so weighs nothing, secondly the adhesive paint used in the solution to put it on the bike does not let any other solution bond to it
The dot is aimed more towards the cycling community itself so if a bike is stolen and is taken to a bike shop to be recirculated into the market it will be picked up as the bike shops are getting on board with the concept AND reciveri themselves have guys who go to the 13 store on a weekly basis with the UV lights and micro scopes (sniffer dogs) and the dot is used on all your household items so it does not only benifit in one area.
In light of the recent bikejacking, marking your bike witht he micro dot is discrete and unique to each individual so if it is found the chance of you getting it back is much greater especially to those who do not have insurance on their equipment and we ALL know the value of our equipmet!!!
Well I have been working with a campany recently since I returned from China and they have a really good concept that I think will work really well if there are a few people who would be interested in listening to the idea. Emai me on cycling@recoveri.net
There is a microtag solution that i have put onto my bike for identification purposes, it is also registered into an international database for free. Great affordable concept. Check it out on www.recoveri.net
Thats the benifit of this, it is all done from your PC once you have the product on whatever you decide to put it on, if it is stolen you mark it on the site as a hot dot and it is linked to the police as well as fbi world wide and REVOVERI itself has guys who identify the goods at the police stations, they go around to all the stations and check, if it is found they contact you to identify and collect.
i have been approached by the company to get the RECOVERI DOT out into the cycling market.
A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO THE SA CYCLING COMMUNITY

There is that possibility but i personally think a bike is more valuable all pieces present and accounted for!!!!
