At Circuit Cycle & Sports in Millet, Alberta, we know how much your bicycle means to you—whether it’s your daily commuter, weekend adventure gravel bike, or a high-end investment. Bike theft is a real concern across Central Alberta and beyond, but a simple, effective solution can give you peace of mind. That’s why we’re proud to highlight Bikebac Trackers, available through our shop and directly from the Canadian company at Bikebac.ca (or bikebac.com).

Real-World Recovery: A Scenario in Action
Imagine this: It’s a sunny Saturday in Central Alberta. You lock your prized gravel bike outside a Millet café while grabbing a quick bite. Unfortunately, a thief cuts the lock and rides off. But your Bikebac Tracker—quietly installed on the bottle cage—is already working.
Back at home, you open the Find My app (or Find Hub on Android) on your smartphone. The tracker shows the bike’s last known location moving toward Edmonton. You notify the RCMP immediately, providing the live (or near real-time) location data. Law enforcement uses this information to coordinate a recovery, perhaps spotting the bike at a pawn shop or during a traffic stop. Thanks to the tracker’s discreet design and the crowdsourced location network, your bike is located and returned within days—saving you thousands and avoiding the heartbreak of losing a valued ride.
Real customers have shared similar successes. One e-bike rental business owner recovered a stolen bike after monitoring its movement for a few days, saving $3,500. Others praise the peace of mind for daily commutes or family bikes.
