Meet Kelly<\/strong>, a Minneapolis-based mom, cargo bike rider and a proud BikeFinder user<\/strong>. Her long tail bike is her school bus, grocery hauler, and main mode of transport. Most days, you\u2019ll see her with her daughter or niece on the back, cruising through the \u2018city of lakes\u2019 with the wind in their hair and a smile on their faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But one worry lingered: \u201cWhat if the bike\u2019s not there when I come back?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A beautiful bike, a real risk<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Kelly bought her Blix long tail cargo bike <\/strong>while living in Germany, but after moving to Minneapolis this past July, she felt the reality of bike theft hit much closer to home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of my friends here, Karen, had her brand-new e-bike stolen.  Just\u2026 gone. And there was nothing she could do.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It brought her back to college, when she had a bike stolen herself. Sure, it wasn\u2019t an expensive one \u2014 but the feeling still stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t want to go through that again. Especially not with my expensive e-bike. I need it every day to bring the kids around.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why she chose BikeFinder<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Kelly considered options like Apple AirTag but wanted something more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wanted something way more advanced. Hidden. Something a thief wouldn\u2019t spot or be able to shut off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s when she discovered BikeFinder: a tracker that fits inside the handlebar<\/strong>, works in remote areas and alerts you if someone dares to touch or move your bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was one of the first things I set up when we moved here. I love that it\u2019s hidden in the handlebar. Super neat!\u201d she commented in her Minnesota accent.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Peace of mind in one tap<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of it, Kelly just loves riding and being a \u201cCargo bike Mom.\u201d The kids love it too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy daughter actually asks if we can bike to school and the park.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

During drop-off, Kelly taps Security Mode in the app and goes about her day. That\u2019s it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelly says she has enough going on. Getting the kids out the door. Remembering snacks. Stopping to get groceries. This just takes one stressor off my plate.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

”I used to feel a bit panicky when I had to park my bike anywhere, I would try to avoid it actually.  I literally never left my bike out of sight and never parked out of home!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Now? Not so much. Kelly no longer second-guesses whether it\u2019s safe to leave her cargo bike outside. With the tracker hidden in the handlebar and alerts in her pocket, she feels covered. If her bike is moved, she gets an audible alert. And with multi-signal technology<\/strong> (GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LPWAN), she can track it with impressive accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow, with BikeFinder, I\u2019m excited to bring my bike everywhere! I can finally relax. Coffee. Errands. Dropping the kids off at school. It\u2019s no stress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus win: it works anywhere<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Kelly picked up her BikeFinder in the U.S., but she still loves that the tracker works globally<\/strong>. When she travels with her bike again, it\u2019s one less thing to worry about.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Your bike deserves backup<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Kelly\u2019s story reflects what we hear from families and everyday cyclists across Europe, the USA and beyond: a need for reliable, invisible, smart bike security<\/strong>. When your bike carries your kids, your groceries, your whole day, it deserves to be safe.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
