I plan on riding bike for often and while I have invest and will continue to invest in the typical security measures (D lock, wheel lock, etc.). However, in the extreme case that it should get stolen I want a way to track it down. I was thinking about getting a Tile tracking and place it within the frame of my bike but there’s a better way please suggest it. Thanks in advance!
Register your bike, with the police and a registry like 529 Garage.
The fact is, police recover hundreds of thousands of stolen bikes, but can’t return them to the rightful owner because it hasn’t been registered.
FWIW, I use two locks, and a hidden motion alarm when I park my bike. I only have a tracker on the keys for the locks/alarm, but will likely put a Tile somewhere on the bike this year.
Also, keep in mind that thieves are scumbags and will steal anything off your bike: lights, saddle, pedals, accessory mounts, etc.
Do your best. Unfortunately, a motivated thieving scumbag will still try, and if they can’t steal your bike, they’ll try to damage it.
