An iPhone app just released yesterday could be a great tool in the war on bike theft. “Bike Quiver” was created by David Ross, an independent software developer who lives (and rides) in Portland.
A serial number is the most important piece of information you’ll need to prove to the police that a stolen bike is yours. The idea behind the app is to make it easier to document and retrieve that number. Bike Quiver lets you create profiles for each of your bikes that can include the all-important serial number, a photo and other vitals. Another cool feature is a section where you can keep up a maintenance log for your bike.
Last year, we profiled another locally created iPhone app called “Cychosis” developed by North Porlander Ron Forrester.
Bike Quiver sells for 99 cents in Apple’s iTunes App Store. Learn more at BikeQuiver.com.
