If you're going to label a product 'Invincible bike', it better be supremely special and do everything possible to live up to the tag -- and this fantastic bicycle from Boston-based company Fortified Bicycle does just that. This bike is designed to be extremely difficult for even the most crafty of bike thieves to steal.
The Invincible bike is equipped with a U-lock as well as special locking bolts that attach all its components to its frame. This means that they can only be removed and stolen by a very resourceful thief who has access to the specific kind of wrench that works with Fortified products. The bike will be available in a 23-pound single-speed model and a 26-speed 8-speed version.
Bike theft is a huge problem in big cities, so the Invincible bike is sure to appeal to bike owners looking to thwart bike thieves.
