The cycling experience is lacking that pleasant chirp of greeting and that reassuring note that says "I'll be OK while you are gone" that we have come to expect at the start and end of our vehicular journeys.

The FRKE for Cycles bolts onto the handlebar. It flashes a light and makes sounds when its remote control's "Hello" and "Goodbye" buttons are pressed.

People will be impressed when you arrive, park, start to walk away, then turn, casually point your remote, and your cycle beeps.

       it could bark when you leave it and purr when you return.   

       never had a car with one of those gizmo's, I have to do a ventriloqist's beep to impress people (or not)

       Should be simple enough to rig up a small solenoid to ring your bicycle's bell once, or twice, depending upon need. Good idea, especially if it also drops a fucking great clamp around frame, wheel rims and a nearby post, to prevent theft.
