Android-compatible tracker and bicycle frame mount up for grabs
November 14, 2023
When we gave away an Airtag tracker last week, someone on Twitter spoke up on behalf of android users. We promised to redress the imbalance and, true to our word, here we are with a Tile Pro and bicycle mount.
Without GPS trackers it's almost impossible to recover stolen bicycles; it's why the police give so little priority to the crime. An investigation by a national newspaper last year revealed no suspect is identified or charged in 87 per cent of cases. In other words, cycle thieves in the UK are very likely to get away with it.
Trackers can't replace the need for a good cycle insurance policy, but they're useful bits of kit nevertheless. The Tile Pro share many features with its Apple Airtag counterpart, but the 'find my phone' feature is exclusive to the android device; you can double press the button on the Tile to make your phone ring, even when it’s on silent.

This 3D-printed mounting system to hold the Tile Pro to your bike frame makes use of the existing bottle cage holes. Its makers claim an anti-rattle design avoids any unwelcome noise while riding.
