I used the Pino's boom after checking that that would be OK.</p> <p>Of course, the police then checked the seat tube first...</p> <p>Although the advertising photos show an officer waving a detector in the general direction of a digger, the range is such that they really need patience or to know where to look. I doubt that they'll have the time or inclination to check every stolen bike properly for the tag, having seen how much effort was required to find one when we <em>knew</em> where it was!</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5179#post-57567 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 23:15:01 +0000 wingpig 57567@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>What's the Pino made out of? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5179#post-57566 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 23:02:52 +0000 Roibeard 57566@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oh, and don't bother with the RFID tags - they can't be read (on the Pino at least) unless you know where they are and the "wand" has line of sight to the tag.</p> <p>So, useful for proving you own the bike, but very unlikely to be useful for finding out that you own the bike, contrary to the adverts...</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5179#post-57565 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:56:21 +0000 DaveC 57565@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I plan on taking one bike in tomorrow, then another in the day after so I have both bikes in at work for the tagging. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5179#post-57564 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:17:37 +0000 wingpig 57564@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bump, pre-Thursday.
