Get Your Bike Back Rack


Summary

We're using RFID tags on bikes to detect theft and return bikes to their owners.
 


Full Description

Hidden RFID tags in the bike, such as below the grip-tape, mud-guards, decals etc will be detected by connected bike racks or RFID readers overlooking existing bike racks. If a bike has been marked as stolen and is detected at a connected location, the owner and police will be notified. If a bike is removed from a rack without the companion keychain RFID tag present, the owner will be alerted and the theft hopefully prevented. Once the system is in widespread use, the market for stolen bikes will diminish and bike use will increase, resulting in a happier and healthier society.
