Was your bike stolen? Don’t worry, it will call you. If, that is, it’s the new
Canadian-designed bike called the Valour. With thousands of bicycles stolen each
year across the country — and less than five per cent recovered — Toronto-based
tech firm Vanhawks has come up with an innovative solution to curb the thefts: a
lightweight carbon fibre hybrid commuter bike with integrated GPS technology
that sends an alert to the owner’s mobile phone to identify the bike’s location.
