What a great idea!!!

From the good folks at Bikerumor.com. Imagine the situation. You park your beloved bicycle outside your work, locking it securely. Unbeknown to you a thief starts to cut your lock, however the vibrations trigger the cunning alarm you have hidden in your bike which sends you a SMS to let you know there is a problem. Despite rushing downstairs immediately you are just too late and see the thief cycling away. Undaunted, you run back to your computer, log on to a special website and follow the movements of the thief until the vibrations stop, thus revealing your bikes location so you can go round, or call the police, to retrieve it. Sound far fetched? Then read on to hear more about this great new security device.

This unique GPS tracker is cunningly concealed inside a fully functional rear bike light. Designed by

GPSTrackThis, once the Spylamp is activated a vibration sensor detects any movement of the bike, notifies the owner via SMS that the bike is in motion and uploads its position to the GPSTrackThis website. So long as motion is detected the device continues to upload its position every 20 seconds allowing the owner to plot the course of the bike and it’s current location. It is also possible to set the device to transmit it’s position either upon demand or at set intervals. It is worth noting that the motion sensor needs a few seconds of continual motion to activate, so an accidental bump or passing car shouldn’t trigger the alarm.

The device works with any mobile network in the world and the user only has to buy a pay-as-you-go SIM with each GPS upload being charged at a fraction of a cent.
GPSTrackThishas sold the Spylamp online for the past few months, however the firm has now ceased online sales and is looking for a distribution partner or interested retailers to get in contact. They are also working on a new tracker which can be hidden inside the bicycle frame, getting around the one obvious disadvantage of the Spylamp system.
