ValeYellow Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Stumbled across this on twitter today. Wonder if it is available in SA and if not perhaps we should look into it? r0adrunner and Drumstick 2

IH8MUD Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) What the hell?! Where do these people live? Canada? Definitely not in sunny Southern Africa!That lame ass "bike thief" did not even have no knife . . .! Shameful! When I read "bike spike" I at least hoped the seat will remotely click lose, fall off, and they get a seat post in the bunghole . . .This is useless . Edited July 25, 2014 by IH8MUD
BIERSTEKER Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I also saw this on twitter. Visited the website. I think this is a very good idea to bring to SA. Does not look to be too expensive either.
dyls Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I have emailed the guys at TrackR to see if and when it will be available in SA, I see a problem with it though in that it uses crowd GPS, which means it will only give a position on the stolen bike when it passes near bye someone else using TrackR.... I doubt there will be many people using the TrackR app down in the ghettos

I doubt there will be many people using the TrackR app down in the ghettos I would tend to disagree with you there. I think there would be PLENTY of "used to be owned by me" bikes in tha ghetto maan. However you would need to have a lot of stolen bikes and ex owners with that trakr, all clustering together to be useful ...... i guess. Sorta like Dips said. Edited July 30, 2014 by Too tall
