We all know that bikes can be a great alternative to cars, but they’re not without their issues. Namely just how easy they are to steal. A new design from a student at the Savannah College of Art and Design is hoping to change that though, by creating a lock built right into the bike.
Jaryn Miller’s design features handlebars that transform into a lock, thus making it both harder to steal and more convenient for the rider. You don’t have to worry about forgetting a lock since it’s built in, and a thief can break the lock without destroying the handlebars.
“People hate carrying locks, and sometimes they forget them,” Miller told Fast Company. “Some locks leave the seats and tires vulnerable, and if they are broken, the bike is still in perfect condition.”
Unfortunately, his design is just a concept for now, though upon graduation he may be looking into turning it into a full-fledged product.
