I'm Michael and like many of you a victim of bike crime. Coming out of a meetup with friends and seeing your bike has been stolen for the second time is never a nice feeling. Seeing that your bike lock didn’t hold up to being cut through is even worse. After that I was constantly worried about my bike getting stolen when it was chained up outside and speaking to my friends many of them felt the same way.

我是麦克，和很多人一样，深受自行车失窃的困扰。每次和朋友聚会后看到自行车又丢了总是让人很愤懑。自行车锁锁不住车实在太糟了。自行车锁被剪开过一次之后，我就总是担心停在外面的自行车会被偷，我的朋友们大多也有相同的感受。

We decided that as a group with different skills: engineers, marketing professionals, designers, we thought we could do something about this, so we conceived a Smart Lock. We wanted to stop our bikes getting stolen and to also track them if they did.

我和我的朋友都从事着不同的行业：有工程师、营销专家、设计师，我们觉得可以做点什么来改变现状，智能锁（Smart Lock）应运而生，用来防止自行车失窃，也能在失窃后追踪失物。

We obviously realized this was going to be a huge task, but committed two years of our lives, to prototyping, designing, testing, scrapping and trying again.

毫无疑问，只是一项艰巨的任务，我们用两年的时间制作样品、设计、测试、重头来过又不断尝试。

The end result of the late nights, hard work and maybe a few tears, is a product we are very proud of, possibly the safest lock in the world.

历经熬夜、奋斗和泪水，我们终于发明了这款融入着自豪感、世界上最安全的车锁。

Our lock is made with a hardened stainless steel casing to be tough, GPS tracking so you can track your bike worldwide, motion sensors to alert you of suspicious activity and a 110db alarm to alert those nearby.

智能锁外壳由坚硬的不锈钢制作而成，内置全球定位追踪系统，车主可在全球范围内追踪自行车，以及运动传感器，发生可疑行为时可警惕车主，并且以100分贝的音量提醒周围人群。
