A group of tech-minded Vancouver cyclists are making it really tough for bike thieves to pursue their livelihood, through the use of GPS-enabled ‘bait bikes’ and video cameras.

And lucky for us, they are turning their escapades into a web video series, so we can learn from their experiences.

“Tune in to To Catch a Bike Thief where we use the latest technologies to bait, follow, and retrieve our GPS-enabled bikes, to confront the problem of bike theft head on and on camera. Watch as the To Catch a Bike Thief team goes from passive bystander to active participant in the fight against bike crime, uncovering the underground industry of bike theft, starting at its roots.”

Find out more about To Catch a Bike Thief: When a lock is not enough, and follow along with the crew on YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook.
