Safer bike riding


There are millions of cyclists all over the United States, and we all know how hard it is to see during the night while riding a bike. A new GPS has been made, but this one is not for cars rather than for bicycles. This little GPS is fixed securely to the frame of the bicycle, the gps then sends all of its information to your smartphone cell phone and tells you where you are, and it even tells you if your location is safe for bicyclist, telling you if the street is nice and clean or full of potholes.
   The name of the GPS is BikeSpike, and that is not all it can do. BikeSpike also tells you how many calories you have burned, how much you traveled and even tells you at what incline angle you have been riding. Another great thing about the BikeSpike is its tracking device, which works great when you bicycle has been stolen. With this tracking device all you need to do is check you cellphone and check where you bicycle is at the moment. 
With technology like this, hundred of bike thefts will soon be caught, making the streets safer. I have always enjoyed bike riding and practice it weekly, and a GPS like this one is something great that all cyclist can benefit from, it is a great device that helps us track our distance and calories, while at the same time keeps us safe, and our bike safe if robbed.
