If you're worried about someone stealing your bike, try one of these little contraptions.

My wife used to have one, and believe me, brother, it attracts attention (when it's making its noise).

Simple velcro the alarm under your seat, and then attach the clip to a spoke on the rear tire. Or, attach the alarm (hidden as best as possible) somewhere on your bike and the clip to a spoke.

Now, when the greedy, horrible, stinkin' no-good thief takes your bike, all he has to do is roll it a foot or so and the cord pops out of the alarm.

And then get ready for the fun.

And the cool part? They're dirt cheap. Once I even saw them at the dollar store. They were a dollar. ;)

Go to Google and simply type in "Personal alarm" and you'll find 'em.

Have fun.

How about wiring the handle bars or frame to the battery pack? Use a wireless remote to switch it on or off. Thief even touches your bike, and ZAP!

Hhaha, that would be great. Unfortunately in the world we live in the theif can then take you to court and sue you for electrocuting him and he would definately win the case. :( ... Stupid world we live in.

I have two of these now (from thrift stores, super cheap), one iwth a strobe light plus the siren, and I accidentally pulled the pin out inside the house... :shock:

Dogs hated me for days. :(
