"Smart" Bike Bell Helps Riders Find Their Bikes In Crowded Amsterdam Bike Parking Lots
 |
| How do you find your bike in this mess? |
How do you find your car in a busy parking lot? A lot of people will use their alarm system to flash the lights or make a noise. In Amsterdam, there are similar parking lots- for bikes. So without an alarm system, how do you know which is yours in the sea of metal? By using a bike bell of course. Not the old school bell though- a new "smart bell." A new app allows you to ring the bell, alerting you to your bike's location. At night, you have the option of activating a light instead of ringing the bell.
You can find out more about this technology from Mother Nature Network.
