It's a different kind of antenna, you need a microwave antenna.
However, if you can fit one in a phone (under plastic and glass) you should be able to fit one (or more) discretely on a bike. This is going to be difficult on metal bikes as microwaves don't penetrate (AFAIK). I don't know what the penetration of CF is like, compated to plastic / glass phone cases.Mud - Genesis Vapour CCX
Race - Fuji Norcom Straight
Sun - Cervelo R3
Winter / Commute - Dolan ADX0 -

Had the same problem with a handheld GPS (albeit old tech), wouldn't work under the fordeck of my carbon dinghy...Pannier, 120rpm.0 -
Shops with a large number of second hand bikes or that simply have second bikes for stock get my vote.
Went into one shop that had two Felt's carbon with ultegra gearing. Cannondale slice TT bike, Specialized Dolce and ruby, Dolan track bike and a Bianchi via nirone. They also had a Titanium bike on 'special offer'.
Owner opened up the cellar as I was talking to him, saw a couple of Tri and Run and several other road bikes.
A very high stock level. Most bikes looked as if they were being or had been stripped and repackaged with different wheels and gearing.
Can't be sure if it is legit so won't name the shop, couriers hang out there.Food Chain number = 4
A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -

Thought that might be the case.
MW antenna under the saddle, or as part of the bottle cage?0 -
What about RFID tags which could be read everytime you pass a traffic light, RLJs notwithstanding.0

Yeah, you could then just build one into a seat and seatpost and move it from bike to bike. As long as nobody nicks your seat you're away...0
