The document proposes the Bike Back project, a GPS-based system that allows users to track and locate their bicycles if stolen. It would work through a mobile app or website to pinpoint the bike's location with police support. The system could be installed internally or attached to the bike. It argues that such a system is innovative, feasible using inexpensive GPS trackers, and potentially profitable given the large bicycle market and costs of theft. Additionally, aggregated theft data could help identify high-risk areas and routes to improve urban planning and security.
