Kickstarter Campaign to fund batch production of a Bicycle Movement Alert

Have you researched how long the average bike theft takes?

I'd want to see some stats suggesting that the BMA will alert me quickly enough that I might be able to get out the pub/cafe etc in time to do more than watch my bike disappearing into the distance.

satisfied that the product could add peace-of-mind to some in certain scenarios (such as that pictured here), and also potentially assist in theft-prevention..

.. via,

• testing the working prototype in a theft-like attempt scenario
  
• anecdotal evidence: hearing accounts of thefts / attempted thefts where the BMA could have assisted in reaction-time or in the ability to react to anything at all (a vibration on either a key-fob or mobile phone, in the absence of a line-of-sight to the bike)
  
  
  

as updated on the webpage last night, the next step is to test the Lean Startup question,

*Lean Startup* methodology suggests that instead of doing any more work, one thing needs to be tested: do people who cycle about urban centres want this product?

• are they prepared to pay £10 for it?
• are they prepared to pledge this £10 in exchange for a working product via a medium such as Kickstarter?
Hence, a far-reaching fundraising campaign is needed to answer this question..

{the answer to the question purely for forum-mongers seems to be no - from the lacklustre response so far.. although all constructive contributions pledged so far via posts or otherwise are appreciated; must be noted London Hackspace has by far been the most helpful place to visit in an attempt to explore the possibilities of this project}

forum-monger involvement in such a fund-raising campaign would be welcome.. especially by those (if any!) who feel that such a product might be useful to them personally..
