Task
Report bike sighting after seeing “glowing red bar”
Story One – Report Sighting
Chris | 26 | Professional Cyclist
Chris is at his local bike shop talking to the shop owner. He mentions that his friend just had his bike stolen, the bike shop owner tells him about bikehound and maybe if he had used the app he may have had a better chance of getting the bike back. He talks about the augmented reality location finder and sparks chris’s interest enough to give bikehound a shot. He downloads the app and registers his bike at first glance the app’s clean sleek design makes it seem well thought out and well designed. This automatically gives him a sense that the app is sophisticated and will help him track his bike. He wonders how the bike is tracked through gps and then he sees that you need to purchase the IOT device, but the app still has features for his bike without the GPS so he is willing to try it.

As a professional cyclist my bike cost around 9-15 thousand dollars and i have extra precautions to keep people from stealing my bikes, but because i get targeted from events based on my success it still come to no surprised that my bikes have been stolen. Most recently my bike that i won 2 races on got stolen. I heard of Bikehound when i was getting coffee with a friend and he told me all about the app and i thought it was worth looking into just to have that extra security. So i downloaded installed the app and registered it its great. Now i open my app all the time to make sure my bike is safe and if any suspicious activity happens i just contact my neighbor.

So i need a new bike but all my friends have told me all about the theft rates here in the city. So i did some research and found a smart bike that’s anti theft. It was called the Bikehound. I came across the Bikehound app just on google and saw it had good reviews so i gave it a try. So i have had the bike for 6 months now and it’s a pretty good bike light durable and slick on the road. The other day i went for a coffee break in the mission and locked up my bike. While i was getting coffee the app alerted me that my bike had been moved then i confirmed it was being stolen. The app then locked the bike up so the thief could not ride it, i tracked it down on my gps only 3 blocks from where i was and the bike was still right there on the side of the street. There was no sign of the bike thief, but at least i got my bike back.
