With cycling becoming more and more popular, bike theft has also been on the rise. I’ve never lived in a major city where at least one person I know personally hasn’t had a bike stolen. I love the idea of combining the function of security into the existing form of the bike. Being able to retrofit existing bikes with standardized pedals is a major plus too.
I am sure you agree with me that prevention is better than cure. Therefore prevention of theft is better than hunting down stolen property. Based on this application we have a bicycle lock that deters theft in a very clever way. The pedals double up as wheel clamps and are designed such that breaking the lock (or pedal) will not only be a tough job but also a foolish endeavor. Superb!
