ya but they don't always work right. like I have them on my keys and wallet and the key one always goes off and sends me a alert when i leave home without them but the wallet one did not the time or two I did forget it. you can set locations where they dont go off if you leave them behind but that does not always work. my bike at work will sometimes send me an alert but it should not. I have one on a tool at work and it works well to track it down in my shop.

My kitten came home with a collar in his mouth, and an Air Tag attached. No contact info. How am I supposed to return this? Its owner hasn't showed up looking for it, so apparently they don't know where it is. It makes a sound when he plays with it.

I have one hidden in my camper as an extra precaution against theft (in addition to locks). I can track it on my phone. As you probably know, they’re not ideal anti theft tracking devices because of stalking concerns, but I figure it’s better than nothing. I haven’t found a great place to put it on the bike, unless I just stash it in a frame bag.

I use one inside my bike box when I travel. It means that if my bike doesn't appear at the airport on the other side, I should be able to figure out where it has ended up.

Obviously a double-agent.

We chose Tiles a few years ago. Same concept, really. Mainly to find our keys and work badges and TV remotes.
Muc-Off sells a tubeless valve stem with an Air Tag holder. This seems like an incomplete idea. The thing is designed to break rather than incur damage to any of the things (rim, tire, tag) but a flat is definitely going to break it and then you have it tumbling around loose in there
