What if [public bike racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/draken-bicycle-stand) provided cyclists with more than a pole to which to tether their two-wheelers? You might end up with something like the Bicycle Rack & Lock. This intriguing idea offers a broad area for leaning your pedaled conveyance that doesn't require confusing loops or too long a cable.

Dadam Design Associates' Young Ko and Byungchul Choi conceived what is essentially a strong sheet of metal that can be installed against walls, up staircase rails and around piers. The surface is speckled with evenly spaced openings that fit the tips of [specialized cable locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specialized-padlock).

As part of the Ssangyong-manufactured Bicycle Rack & Lock, the cord has one [combination lock on both ends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bosch-battery-lock). After feeding it through your wheels and frame, the two points can be fastened into the two most convenient holes in the panel.
