BikeBounty

BikeBounty is a mobile + web app that helps cyclists document their bike, report theft in minutes, and mobilize local recovery channels without wasting time across scattered platforms. Users create a “proof pack” (photos, serial number, components, receipts, unique marks) and store it in a shareable link for police reports, insurers, marketplaces, and bike shops. When a bike is marked stolen, the app pushes geo-targeted alerts to nearby partner shops and opted-in riders, and monitors major resale sites for matching listings using image + text similarity. It also generates a clean theft report PDF and a checklist of next steps by city. This is not a magic “find my bike” tracker; it’s a practical workflow tool that increases recovery odds by speeding up documentation, distribution, and marketplace monitoring.
