Designer Jaryn Miller has come up with an ingenious way to stop bike thieves making off with your precious two-wheeler. The Bike-Loc Handlebars is a bike lock that also doubles as your handlebars.
The idea behind the Bike-Loc Handlebars is that if a thief wants to steal your bike, they will have to cut through the lock, which also doubles as your handlebars. Sawing the lock in half means sawing the handlebars in half, leaving the bike unable to be ridden properly. The design itself is quite ingenious and is certainly as good or better than the many bike locks on the market today. Check out the Bike-Loc Handlebars along with some other creative and cool bicycle locks from the Trend Hunter archives here.
