This concept of the Seat Post Trick Lock is utterly ingenious! It incorporates the function of a [bicycle lock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bosch-battery-lock) with the standard design of your trusty two-wheeler. With this clever system, you no longer need to carry a heavy U-lock, D-lock or uncuttable cord because the best features of these products can be found within your frame.

Once you've reached your destination, yank your [bike seat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personomic-saddle) out of the tube with its inner shaft attached. You'll discover that a connected cable is stored inside and it's tipped with a strong metal nib. A hole in the back of the pole is where you insert the cord's end, after it's been wrapped around [your wheel and frame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargomate-bike-rack). Cao Ming's Seat Post Trick Lock has a dial combination pad for releasing the catch later.
