Spybike is an anti-theft device. The basic operation is as follows :

1. You chain your bicycle up at the bike rack
2. Arm the tracker with your keyring
3. A thief comes along and steals your bicycle
4. Spybike has a vibration sensor in it that you armed in step 2. This detects the movement
5. You get an SMS text message to your mobile phone telling you your bicycle is moving
6. Spybike starts uploading its GPS position to our website every 20 seconds until the vibration has stopped
7. Log into the tracking site and you will see a red line going from the bike stand back to the thief's house
8. Spybike will go to sleep after the thief puts the bicycle down. The next time they go for a ride you will receive another text and can track their ride into town

Here is some more information that people commonly ask for :

• The Spybike tracker is concealed within the bicycle fork tube and appears as a normal headset cap
• The tracker can be securely fixed to the frame with your installation key
• The battery can last months between charges as long as you disarm the tracker before riding it (so it is not always tracking you)
• The tracker uploads its location using GPRS which is very cheap. It does not upload positions via SMS
• We don't charge contracts, you just pay for a pay-as-you-go SIM. Our tracking service is free of a charge.
• It has a quad-band GSM modem which basically means it will work on any mobile network in the world and so works in every country including the USA
• The vibration sensor needs several seconds of movement to set it off. A bump won't activate it.
• If there is not a clear enough view of the sky, the tracker can use GSM triangulation. This will give you a rough idea where your bike is based on the location of nearby phone towers
• If you forget to activate the vibration sensor and the bicycle is stolen, you can still find it because it wakes up every 6 hours (default) and checks its text messages. You can remotely arm it with an SMS text message.
• If the bicycle is taken to a block of apartments you may not know which apartments it is in. Spybike will go back to sleep when the thief parks the bike (the bicycle stops moving). The next time they go for a ride you can receive a text and track where they take your bicycle to.
