Treehugger - The Connected Cycle smart bike pedal... features a built-in GPS device that can be connected to a smartphone through the Connected Cycle app. Once synced, the pedal starts tracking all of the data about the bike's movement -- route, speed, incline, calories burned, even the last place it was parked -- and sending it to the smartphone app.
All of this is great for people wanting to have fitness tracking capabilities with their bike, but it serves another purpose too. Whenever the bike is moved, the smartphone will get an alert and its route is automatically tracked, so if your bike is ever stolen, you'll be able to track it down in real-time.

The Treehugger elites strike again!
Some of us just wear street clothes when we cycle slowly along on our 30yo prole utility bikes and don't own a smartphone --or even a dumbphone except for the one hooked to the landline at home.
