I just got a Globe Haul and my wife asked me about insuring the bike, and I honestly had not even thought about it. Does anyone have experience with bicycle insurance - like at all - and can you recommend what coverages to buy?
I know this isn't for everyone, but I'm an Android user and a recent owner of a Globe Haul. I see a lot of cases for Apple trackers but it gets limited for the very non-conforming Android trackers out there. I have also been frustrated about the size of Android trackers that make it difficult to conceal them. I didn't want to place a tracker in an obvious location like under the seat, or under the water cage. When I got the Specialized Turbo basket and was installing the MIK adapter, I realized that there may be some room to play with a mount hidden in the underside of the basket, and within the frame of the adapter.
Tile Pros suck because they are big, and typically not easily concealable. The tile won't fit into the underside grid of the Turbo basket. What I was able to do was create a platform by building up the base of the basket to make a flush surface within the frame of the MIK adapter, then adhere the Tile Pro between the frame and the release mechanism. It fits perfectly and is absolutely not visible when the basket is installed.
Yes, someone can just remove the basket and the tracking is defeated... I get that; I just think it's more likely that if the bike is taken it will be on there long enough that I'll be able to locate where it went to recover it. Layers of security, blah blah blah.
I get to use my Tile Pro with my Android phone, and didn't think I could without being obvious. I'm actually happy with what I came up with, at least enough to share.
