but their also is an actual tracker... but you stick it on your dogs collar and is about 4 inches long by 2 inches wide, you could hide it down your frame, but the reciever really only works for a few kilometers and most bike theifs would probably notice it.

Your wrong. I got my dog at the spca and they put the chip in there. They have to anyways. And they can track the dog down if he gets lost.

oh yeah, the length of my membership has something to do with my knowledge. ok, see how far that philosphy gets you in life. what i'm talking about is a product in america that can track your pet, bike whatever through computers and the internet. its for lost pets so you can see on GPS or through the vet where your tracker is at.
i was not refering to a digital collar. i know what i am talking about.

I got to knox and the bike racks are fenced in. they lock them rite when school starts and open them at the end of the day so its fairly safe.

what if you go home for lunch, or have like a 2nd period spare that woudl kinda suck cuz i wouldent feel like wating for some guy to come unlock the fence and at lunch i need to get home fast by the time lunch rolls around i am starving
its a middle school so we dont get spares unless your in retard classes and your spare is supervised in a classrom for teachers to help you with homework, also we get in shit if we leave for lunch without a parent to checheck us out (to many people left at lunch and didnt come back)

i havent read the comments before mine cause im to lazy to so i hope my input helps. 2 of my friends have had there bike stolen from school ( norco atomik and .243) and my towns small everyone knows each other and u wouldnt think of ur bike getting stolen. so basically dont ride it to school because there is a chance of it getting stolen unless u can lock it up inside the school

I wanna ride mine too, but I need to put it inside somewhere, I have gym first period so I could put it in a storage room, but then I wouldn't get it till the end of the day and I wanna ride at lunch? I don't know what to do either?

You won't be smilin' when you get out of class only to discover you have to walk home... thats not so bad as a risk that might kill ya... but why would you take a risk on your life? Likewise with ons bike...my bike = my life... my bike is a theraputic thing... relives stress and alleviates bad things that weight heavily on my mind...

Some chick did an economics paper on this when I was going to school. She did the math and the long and the short of it was, even if you 2500 bike got stolen every year, (or you bought a new one ever year) its still cheaper than owning a car, or taking a cab. I don't know if she worked time of travel into the equation, in fact I don't remember much about university. So, you gotta go to school, arrive in style! I rode a 4000 road bike to school for 3 years, drop bars are soo00 uncool to bike thieves that I probably could have left it unlocked. lol
