The Fairy Godfathers of Bike Theft
After having recently suffered a bike theft, my tracker installation was like being visited by a fairy godfather of bike security. I was informed of all the latest trends in bike theft and got some great advice on avoiding it in future. He is a man with a purpose and clearly passionate about combating bike theft by empowering Backpedal customers and raising awareness.
Julian was completely tooled up, there was nothing he didn't have to hand to complete the task - multimeter, soldering iron, drill, I was really impressed.
When it came to hiding the trackers - he's a creative genius, he hid mine in a place that I would never have thought of and somewhere I'm completely confident that thieves will miss. He took into account the way I use the bike and the precautions I take to make the correct placement.
I was left feeling completely over the moon that I chose Backpedal, confident that my bike is as well protected as it can be (after investing in a Diamond rated lock).
Julian was absolutely amazing. Thank you.

Incredible service
Incredible service. My bike was returned within 36 hours of having Back Pedal start the search with thoughtful and transparent communications throughout. I count myself very lucky to get the bike back and this is completely down to Back Pedal. Brilliant team and can’t recommend them enough - it should be part of all bike insurance.

Paid for the kit in April
Paid for the kit in April. Very long story but the tracker still doesn't work (2nd), the company is still trying to get subscription out of my bank (good thing I'm on another card now) and haven't refunded the original payment.

We will definitely get this fixed for you and no money will be charged until after your bike is protected.
We've been in touch separately to get this resolved directly for you with our mechanics.

Bike recovered
I had the misfortune of having my bike stolen. I would never have got it back if it weren’t for Backpedal who tracked it and returned it to me.
Communication was excellent along with the service they provide.
I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Delivered on expectations - recovered my bicycle!
The team at BackPedal provided clear guidance on the subsequent procedures and what to anticipate throughout the process after my bike was stolen. They maintained constant communication with me and, with the diligent efforts of their tracking team coupled with innovative technology, successfully recovered my bike within 24 hours. I extend my sincere appreciation to Richard for his consistent updates and to Julian for the swift recovery of my bike. I wholeheartedly endorse BackPedal for anyone seeking effective measures against bike theft. Thank you!
