Bikes are cool, but bikes aren’t that cheap anymore. Having your bike stolen today can be not only an
annoying headache but an expensive loss too.And bikes have always been a hot product.

BIKE BACK is a GPS based safety system which
allows you to find your bicycle anywhere.
Wednesday, October 9, 13
Anywhere on Earth.

Through a mobile app or even a web site you can track your bike and find exactly where it is, what is special when it was stolen. With the local police support you can go there and have your “bike back”.
How does it work?Set the GPS in your bike and find it with your mobile.
Wednesday, October 9, 13
The Bike Back GPS device can be set in
several places on or inside the bicycle.

Once it’s done your bike is safer. You still need to use lockers and be clever - don’t leave it anywhere, ok? - but if you’re unlucky, use BIKE BACK and find your bicycle instead of wondering where it could be.

Extraordinary for people?
Wednesday, October 9, 13
As bikes can cost a lot, to buy a new one can be a huge investment. If people care about a US$ 300 iPhone, they also may care about their
expensive bicycles. If you can avoid a loss, you will save money.
Wednesday, October 9, 13
And people all aroundthe world agree that it is
extraordinary.

Besides, several people have emotional bonds with their bikes.They have names. Histories. Biographies. They’re like friends.

You can find a car through GPS systems, but not a bike.
Is BIKE BACK an innovation?So far nobody has succeeded at putting together bikes+GPS+ safety.
You can use lockers, but they aren’t unbeatable.
You can track your pathway, but only while you’re riding.

Is BIKE BACK feasible?Probably YES.
There are several small GPS trackers that can be hidden inside bike tubes or disguised as an ordinary accessory. The receiver costs about US$ 7. Even if our final product costs about 10x this, it’s still a good deal.

Ridding? ❖ Are there different kinds of thieves and robberies? More targeted brands?❖ What are the most used urban routes? Governments can build new bike lanes.❖ Could we help to develop an Universal Registered Serial Number list?
