Are you plagued with butter fingers? Clumsy digits? Do you find that those really important things like your keys, mobile phone and tamagotchi have a regular habit of disappearing from your clutches?
We all know what it’s like to put that highly important thing down for just one minute, only to find that it has mysteriously vanished. The universe sure works in mysterious ways, so who are we to argue when a strange and powerful force makes the decision to relocate our possessions? Ok, so it was probably our fault that it’s gone missing, but that won’t stop us from getting all huffed up and blaming any other person within huffing distance.
In order to help avoid those moments of frustration, some clever tech boffins have got a solution in the form of the clever little Tile.
You may have heard of the Tile before. Tile is a super simple piece of tech that will stop you from ever losing anything ever again. Well, except your marbles, they haven’t worked that one out yet… The device consists of a physical “Tile”, and an application for your smartphone (Android and iOS only) which keeps tabs on the Tile’s location via Bluetooth connectivity and a clever community tracking feature.
Latest Singletrack Merch
Buying and wearing our sustainable merch is another great way to support Singletrack
The Tile range currently consists of the Tile Slim, which is super thin (slimmer than an After Eight, but not quite as tasty) for use in wallets and other tight spots. And then there’s the Tile Mate, which is smaller and doubles up as a keyring. Both versions of the Tile are super versatile and can be used to track drones, pets, or even your bike!
To celebrate the launch of the Singletrack Partner Zone this week, Tile has sent over a landslide’s worth of Tiles (forty of them in total), which we will be giving away entirely free to our subscribers. If you would like to be in for a chance of getting your very own Tile simply complete the steps below:
- First of all, if you’re not already a subscriber sign up here
- Once logged in, head to the comments section at the bottom of this post and tell us exactly what you would use your Tile to track (be sensible or silly, it’s all good)
- We will choose the best forty comments on Tuesday the 8th November and will send out either a Tile Slim or Tile Mate for FREE
- When you receive your Tile we then ask you to share a photo of it in use on Instagram with the tags @Singletrackmag and @tiledit
And BOOM! That’s it!
Before entering the competition, please keep in mind that we will be sharing your email address with Tile and they may contact you regarding your user experience and ask for feedback.
You can learn more about Tile in their showcase in the Singletrack Partner Zone.
The contents of my wine bottles. They’re always disappearing without trace!
After seeing the pairs shouting/screaming/yelling at Relentless 24 I’d attach it to a team mate so I know when they racing through the pits to handover.
I would attach one to an Easter egg during the next egg hunt. Using modern technology to find hidden chocolate would make my kids amazed at their dads super powers ( until they realise I was cheating, then I’d get the ” you deceived us again father” look.)
I’d track my receding hair line.
Either that, or my keys.
When I say keys, I mean attach it to random members of the family and see where they end up.
I would attach it to me. Ever since I turned 43 I’ve been trying to find myself…
I would pop one in with my diary/ folder so I know which customers I’ve left it at.. again .. either that or the van keys.
The gentleman who left his thigh high leather boot (right foot) and tennis ball at my place last Wednesday afternoon could probably do with one of those tiles. Ever so forgetful.
Probably put on on my keys, or keep it in my man-drawer so I don’t lose it.
I’d attach it to my mate Nev, who’s never on time for riding (always an hour late). That way I’d know when he is en-route and can plan my arrival accordingly or jib him for stopping for that pre-ride pasty.
I’d attach it to Brexit, as there just not enough media coverage it would help keep track of the pesky thing*
*yes I know Brexit not a physical thing, I’m just trying to be topical and funny (failing at both)
My works pen. I’ve gone through 5 today.
I’m sure I’ve got early onsite parking
I would carry it with me for a night on the ’tiles’.
Had this appeared a week ago and had I won a tile, I would currently be using it to track my wayward dog.
Anyone recently seen a spaniel/terrier bitch without an owner???
I’d attach it to one of my staff ’cause he disappears for ages when going “for a fag break”.
As long as these things work slowly I’d attach it to my mind.
I am slowly losing it.
I’d attach it to my will to live every time I see a Daily Mail headline.
I would attach it to my socks, no one can explain where they disappear to!
I’d attach it to the valves on my wheels. Instead of lining the valves with the tyre logo, I could instantly find the valves, when in a hurry, by just reaching for my smartphone. If I only had one tile, I would be more than happy to swap it to the wheel which needed a top up, I don’t think that it would significantly add much time, and it would still make finding that wayward tile much quicker.

My car, as whenever I park at B&Q I swear it moves to a different row.
