Ejector saddle vs bicycle thief

If you’re a cyclist with little sympathy with bike thieves, you might be in the market for an ejector saddle.

Powered by compressed air, the ejector saddle is punched 2 metres into the air if not first disarmed by the bike’s owner.

The ejector saddle was developed by the ETA,  a leading cycle insurance company that has already tested satellite tracking as a way of locating stolen bicycles.

A spokesperson for the ETA said: “Whether it’s fully-comp insurance or a piece of tech, our aim is to keep cyclists one step ahead of thieves.”
