1. A bicycle security system mounted within a bicycle comprising:

  • an alarm circuit having an alarm mechanism with a wireless communication interface;

    a sensor for sensing a relative displacement of the bicycle from a first position, the sensor being in communication with the alarm mechanism to activate the alarm mechanism if the bicycle is displaced beyond a predetermined threshold from the first position;

    a power source for powering the alarm circuit; and

    a housing for accommodating the alarm circuit therein, wherein the housing is configured to be mounted internally within a bicycle frame of the bicycle,wherein the alarm circuit further comprises a transmitting mechanism which comprises an antenna connected to a conducting wire which extends between a communication module of the alarm circuit within an interior of the bicycle frame and an exterior of the bicycle frame thereby facilitating wireless transmission from the interior of the bicycle to the exterior of the bicycle via the antenna and vice versa;

    the transmitting mechanism further comprises a fastener with a tensioning mechanism to mount the transmitting mechanism through one of perforations in the bicycle frame; and

    wherein the tensioning mechanism is a wire coil thereby forming the antenna of the alarm circuit.
