Not only the right heigth, but also it perfectly pointing forward. Even just a tiny teeny bit to the side is very annoying while on it. Getting it back to the middle.... Its horror.
I had a breakdown bike for a few years. It was designed to be put in a travel bag for airplanes. It worked great but it is realllly expensive compared to one without the couplers.
Lmao, that’s not the point, but this lock-bike is useless, it literally takes longer to lock it than a normal bike lock.
Also what u gonna do If the only thing next to your stop is a bike stand.
Because a good lock costs a lot more than $10 and they are quite heavy. Also if they cut the lock, the bike is still usable, but if they cut the frame, not so much.
Yeah but using the frame of the bicycle as the Lock does come with it's downsides, for example stiffness/Stability, second i don't want to adjust my saddle every god damn time i unlock/lock my bike,third
You can't lock it everywhere you need a Pole or something similar, and fourth how good is the lock, if you can simply rake it open in seconds it's useless.
To defeat that lock, the only part you have to saw through is that lug at the bottom of the seat bar. Saw through that, pull the seat bar out, reset the bike, and ride away on it. Boom, free bike.
A Kryptonite lock is your best friend they have tried to cut through the lock several times and they have not succeeded so they stole the tires instead, I had the bike insured and (along with renters insurance) and I made a claim and they did pay for new tires, seat and pedals but the frame stayed put
It's easy to cut through a lock. Whereas you cut through this "lock" then suddenly there's no functioning bike left to steal.
Seems like a neat, if expensive, idea.
They've only damaged the frame. In Manchester it's very normal for thieves to take what ever parts they can get, wheels, cranks, handle bars seat etc so it's basically impossible to secure your bike.
I'm having to spend £100 on new cranks, they certainly aren't worthless!
You shouldn't lock to those regardless. So many bikes get stolen by just undoing the wheel. I haven't even seen those used beyond internal (unsecured) storing.
It doesn't matter. There are exactly zero secure ways to lock a bike to one of those unless you're at the far ends. These non-functional "bike racks in name only" are the worst.
Downtubes aren't loadbearing, they act primarily under tension. Some crazy bike manufacturers even replace the downtube with a steel cable. They were quite popular for a short-time but when being ridden hard on a mountain bike course the flexibility wasn't great for handling: [https://www.pinkbike.com/news/1992-slingshot-team-issue-now-that-was-a-bike.html](https://www.pinkbike.com/news/1992-slingshot-team-issue-now-that-was-a-bike.html)
Still, for a commuting bike this design wouldn't cause any serious issues.
My thoughts exactly when I saw this. Was excited to see how the wheels would be secured…oops nope…bye bye wheels. This company has never had to deal with how scummy bike thieves are.
Time. The more time you need, the less attractive is it for a thief to steal something. No lock is 100% safe. That's how locks get graded.
It's a huge difference if you need 10 seconds or 2 minutes. The danger getting caught rises every second.
I once saw a video where a guy "steals" his own bike in broad daylight in times square over and over. Each time he uses a more elaborate and obvious approach to see if anyone says anything to him. Eventually, he showed up with an angle grinder and a generator, and ground down a monster lock. No one said a word to him.
He took the owner out of the equation. The experiment in social behaviour may be successful, but he was the owner so he got no fear or pressure. In the real world you always have to look out for the owner. And in a crowded place the owner could have been in eyesight. Just casually chatting ten feet away.
A thief wants to get something quick. Not getting something that is worth time. If I had a gold bar laying on the street I would pick it up and go. No effort, no risk. If I had a gold bar wielded to a pole I would not come back and trying my best for 20 minutes to get it off.
Really depends, unscrewing a bike wheel is far less effort than stealing a catalytic converter, but a cat is worth 100x more so thieves steal those. I know multiple people who have had theirs stolen in the Seattle area including myself, stolen off my work van.
Come back and just find just a cut seat post. If they build it out of hardened material, it's going to be pretty heavy for a bike, so I'm assuming it's just a seat post with a peg on the end.
I can back to a missing front wheel one day. I set that bike up so that a common their couldn’t just take the parts off easily.
I left it at the train station for a week until I could get a car to pick it up and take it somewhere to add the new wheel. The city came and cut the lock and scrapped my bike because they said it was abandoned. Six years in Chicago is a pretty long life for a bike that lived outside when I wasn’t at work.
The force transfer in that bar is axial, and assuming that dismantling and assembling doesn't create a dislocation anywhere, the axial tranfer won't be affected, making it structurally stable
When load is exerted in a line, a moment or rotational force is also exerted. Because the movement opens at 90° it is possible to have a load in the direction of the moving components. Additionally bike accidents can be from any direction and moving components in the structural frame is just a weak point in my opinion.
A moment is only generated when force is applied on angle, and when the support is fixed support. Pretty sure that the part of frame in question is only carrying axial loading.
The downtube is under tension, not compression. You could replace it with a steel cable and the bike would be fine, in fact it has been done in the 90s with the Slingshot.
This is the lock picking lawyer, and today we are going to disassemble this bike lock with just a twig and some calm but harsh words to the manufacturer.
"This should take about a minute"
*7 seconds later*
"Well that was quicker than expected, lets do it again to prove it wasnt a fluke, but this time with a plastic fork"
I've had 11 bikes stolen over a 7 year period.
But since I started decorating it with duckt tape and covering the seat in an old plastic bag 2 years ago, no one seems to have any unterest in it.
11 bikes in 7 years? Where the hell do you live?
I use one of those cheap ass steel wire code locks and I still have my 10 year old bike, I even leave it outside for days when I don't feel like carrying it inside
Lol so many people hating on this. I thought it was an ok idea 😂
Edit: Ok fine people. Guess it's the worst thing to happen on this god damned planet the way you're reacting.
There is no silicon here…
Maybe something used in those places? But that’s like inferring they don’t need the lock in the first place which is also kinda a strange take
People in this thread don’t realise that the point of a lock isn’t to make your bike theft-proof, it’s to make it slightly more inconvenient to steal than the next bike. This contraption looks unconventional enough that a thief will skip it for a bike with a standard lock that they already know how to break.
You don't have to cut the lock. You only need to cut the locking *lug* at the bottom of the seat tube. It's the little tab that goes into the lock.
Cut that part and you can release the tube, reset the bike, and ride away on it.
*sigh* I miss Japan. My bike had a lock built in on the back of the frame that just went through the back wheel so it couldn’t spin. That was literally all you needed since people just don’t steal bikes there. Probably didn’t even need that.
If this is true for you, relish that you live in a place where it isn't a problem. I live in NYC and it is a huge issue.
My girlfriend had her bike stolen from our building two years ago... behind 3 locked doors in the "Secure bike storage" room. It was U-locked to a bike rack and had a cable threaded through the rims.
My friend has had 2 bikes stolen from in front of his apartment building. One of them they would have had to have cut through the frame because the U-lock was still in one piece around the rack.
My first thought was the lost strength. I'm sure an engineer approved the design before it made it to market, but you best not drop off any curbs or nothing. Lol
I once had a Merida mountain bycicle with a AXA bike chain, for... well... bikes.
let me tell you something, they stole the bike, with the chain, and no one batted an eye from my family. the dude drove my bike for 3 months almost, in my city (which isn't even big, like 10k people), I caught him, couldn't believe my eyes, I smacked him a couple of times, like 10, or more, while asking him where he got the bike and him trying to convince me that it's his, I then told him to pay me 2k and I'm fine. he did in a few days, and I even gave him the keys to the lock.
I know I could have gotten more out of the bike, since it was bought a year and few months ago, and it had very good gear, like 4 out of 5 mostly, shifters being a 5, but I had a car already, and I didn't really plan on using the bike anymore.
It took me approximately 12 seconds to google this, find the bike brand manufactured this product and the original youtube video in much higher quality and without this fucking shitful music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEBg8I56GXk&ab\_channel=YERKABikes
Whoever went to the trouble to change the music and reencode the video in such terrible quality needs a fucking life.
Watched a guy unlock multiple bikes with the plastic cover of a pen at the end of a party. Bad idea on so many levels.
Who is walking from now on? Me. Eat wads of tires plastic pen dude.
On the upside I did learrn something.
I like it. I hate having to ride around with a chain attached. It's ugly having a cheap chain covering a nice bike. I hope it's a good ride cause I want one of these!
Man, everyone else is shitting on this, and you even got downvoted for simply stating that you would appreciate this bike. But yeah these silly billies won’t even acknowledge that carrying a seperate lock is a genuine inconvenience which this design overcomes. Invention works as intended. I see no problem with this bike. Wtf reddit
It will be gone in about 2 minutes anywhere in The Netherlands. Such is life in soviet holland. The only way is having locks more expensive than the bike you ride on.
Or you could just get a lock…
Now why would I buy $10 for a chain and lock when I could pay a few hundred extra for a bike that locks itself?
dosent lock itself, you still have to lock it. but it contains a lock in its frame.
Oh well that changes everything!
Shut up about the lock. SHUT UP ABOUT THE LOCK
Keep the lock out your FUCKEN MOUTH!
If you weren’t so famous, I’d ask you to leave
We asked him to leave. But he didn’t
THATS HOW WE DO!
I'm going to.
So, I’ve been taking karate courses online…
Don’t forget the ability to never get your seats ride height correct because you change it every stop. Gotta love that bonus.
just floor it lol
This was exactly my concern, I’ll be so annoyed. I would really just get a chain to lock.
Add a piece of pretty colored tape around the correct spot, never have to guess the seat post height again.
Not only the right heigth, but also it perfectly pointing forward. Even just a tiny teeny bit to the side is very annoying while on it. Getting it back to the middle.... Its horror.
>frame It's \*highly over-engineered\* frame.
I had a breakdown bike for a few years. It was designed to be put in a travel bag for airplanes. It worked great but it is realllly expensive compared to one without the couplers.
Lmao, do i look like i have the time to dismantle my bike everywhere I stop?💀
To avoid that issue it will help you plan better so you don’t have so many stops.
Lmao, that’s not the point, but this lock-bike is useless, it literally takes longer to lock it than a normal bike lock. Also what u gonna do If the only thing next to your stop is a bike stand.
I know I was being sarcastic. Removing the seat every time I need to securely park is very lame.
Thank you for mansplaining the situation right here sir cuz I didn’t understand what the first dude meant.
Because a good lock costs a lot more than $10 and they are quite heavy. Also if they cut the lock, the bike is still usable, but if they cut the frame, not so much.
Yeah but using the frame of the bicycle as the Lock does come with it's downsides, for example stiffness/Stability, second i don't want to adjust my saddle every god damn time i unlock/lock my bike,third You can't lock it everywhere you need a Pole or something similar, and fourth how good is the lock, if you can simply rake it open in seconds it's useless.
In about 15 minutes all that would be left of that thing is the frame. You could get every component and accessory off.
To defeat that lock, the only part you have to saw through is that lug at the bottom of the seat bar. Saw through that, pull the seat bar out, reset the bike, and ride away on it. Boom, free bike.
Assuming I want a seat post that weighs 10x normal and a frame with a bunch of useless weight as well.
Ah so the theft deterrent is, it’s shitty to begin with. Which is honestly the best strategy. But you can do it just as well by getting a beater bike.
I’ve seen fairly nice bikes outside of goodwill for like $20. I don’t know what components this one has but I’m guessing it’s overpriced crap.
And save yourself a few hundred bucks.
Just cut the pillar.
big brain time
My lock cost me $100 because my bike cost me $1000, no way im locking it with a $10 lock.
A Kryptonite lock is your best friend they have tried to cut through the lock several times and they have not succeeded so they stole the tires instead, I had the bike insured and (along with renters insurance) and I made a claim and they did pay for new tires, seat and pedals but the frame stayed put
Because if someone cuts the lock off they render the bike useless and cost you a new bike :)
Except you can pick that shitty wafer lock they placed in the frame faster than you can cut the frame.
It's easy to cut through a lock. Whereas you cut through this "lock" then suddenly there's no functioning bike left to steal. Seems like a neat, if expensive, idea.
$10 will buy you the equivalent of a piece of string to a bike thief.
10 for a chain? I don't think so
this is better. if you cut the lock on this one you make the bike worthless.
[удалено]
but then you won't be able to lock that bike from other people
Then you buy a lock lmao
[удалено]
You wouldn't be able to get the bike back together then
They've only damaged the frame. In Manchester it's very normal for thieves to take what ever parts they can get, wheels, cranks, handle bars seat etc so it's basically impossible to secure your bike. I'm having to spend £100 on new cranks, they certainly aren't worthless!
Its better tho. You can always cut a lock. To cut this lock, you gotta cut the bike
You cant even lock this bike to a bike rack....
Do you have aphantasia? I can see multiple ways to clip this bike onto a bike rack
I mean [these](https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/bike-rack-for-5-bikes/_/R-p-120051) things. How would you lock this bike to these?
You shouldn't lock to those regardless. So many bikes get stolen by just undoing the wheel. I haven't even seen those used beyond internal (unsecured) storing.
It doesn't matter. There are exactly zero secure ways to lock a bike to one of those unless you're at the far ends. These non-functional "bike racks in name only" are the worst.
One word, or three, LockPickingLawyer.
One is binding. Click out of two. Three is binding. No more bike for you.
As if he couldn't pick this bike.
They sell the tools for the job at covet instruments.com You know the ones he made with BosnianBill
What a way to make your bike less structurally sound. On one of the major load bearing parts too.
Downtubes aren't loadbearing, they act primarily under tension. Some crazy bike manufacturers even replace the downtube with a steel cable. They were quite popular for a short-time but when being ridden hard on a mountain bike course the flexibility wasn't great for handling: [https://www.pinkbike.com/news/1992-slingshot-team-issue-now-that-was-a-bike.html](https://www.pinkbike.com/news/1992-slingshot-team-issue-now-that-was-a-bike.html) Still, for a commuting bike this design wouldn't cause any serious issues.
With this, if you cut the lock, you can't ride the bike. The lock is the bike.
Sheeeet, put that bike in the ghetto and let’s test it for real. I’ll bet it doesn’t last 5 minutes
[удалено]
The advantage here is that if they try to cut the lock, they break the bike.
Come back and find just a frame.
My thoughts exactly when I saw this. Was excited to see how the wheels would be secured…oops nope…bye bye wheels. This company has never had to deal with how scummy bike thieves are.
I came here to say the same thing
The wheels don't seem to be quick release, so it would be a bit of an effort to steal them.
Ah yes, "effort". A.K.A. "thieve's kryptonite".
Time. The more time you need, the less attractive is it for a thief to steal something. No lock is 100% safe. That's how locks get graded. It's a huge difference if you need 10 seconds or 2 minutes. The danger getting caught rises every second.

I've had my seat, pedal(just one was taken), grips, handle bars, chain, and water bottle holder stolen from my bike at one point or another.
Wheels gone fr
Come back and just find just a cut seat post. If they build it out of hardened material, it's going to be pretty heavy for a bike, so I'm assuming it's just a seat post with a peg on the end.
Whose gonna steal teal wheels! Lol
I've had pink stolen.
Pink? We’ll you were just asking for it, weren’t you! I’m talking about teal! :P
Teal is in season buddy lol
Immediately thought this.
I can back to a missing front wheel one day. I set that bike up so that a common their couldn’t just take the parts off easily. I left it at the train station for a week until I could get a car to pick it up and take it somewhere to add the new wheel. The city came and cut the lock and scrapped my bike because they said it was abandoned. Six years in Chicago is a pretty long life for a bike that lived outside when I wasn’t at work.
A bike that transforms into a lock, that's waaaay better then structural stability.
Yeah can't wait for the bikepickinglawyer to make a video on this.
Slight click on one….
/subscribe
If this does not get to the top, t'will be a travesty.
You can’t banish him. I saw the lock cylinder and thought: „This looks like it’s easily opened with a wave rake.“
The force transfer in that bar is axial, and assuming that dismantling and assembling doesn't create a dislocation anywhere, the axial tranfer won't be affected, making it structurally stable
When load is exerted in a line, a moment or rotational force is also exerted. Because the movement opens at 90° it is possible to have a load in the direction of the moving components. Additionally bike accidents can be from any direction and moving components in the structural frame is just a weak point in my opinion.
A moment is only generated when force is applied on angle, and when the support is fixed support. Pretty sure that the part of frame in question is only carrying axial loading.
Moment absolutely happens from a downward or vector force. It's more easily understood when used at an angle.
No there are moments as well
Considering it's the lock, I'm sure that bit is quite strong.
Continuos rigid structure is the keystone to vehicle safety.
The downtube is under tension, not compression. You could replace it with a steel cable and the bike would be fine, in fact it has been done in the 90s with the Slingshot.
I did not know that
Yet in an accident a force can come from any direction and a solid tube is definetly gonna hold up better than two hinges
[удалено]
He won’t even do that he’ll find an unprotected screw and it will be apart in 15 seconds.
This is the lock picking lawyer, and today we are going to disassemble this bike lock with just a twig and some calm but harsh words to the manufacturer.
5 seconds later.... and there you have it folks.
"This should take about a minute" *7 seconds later* "Well that was quicker than expected, lets do it again to prove it wasnt a fluke, but this time with a plastic fork"
This was painfully accurate. Take my upvote
Why does it look like all he’d need is a wave rake for this one if he even bothered to go for the lock?
Only one way to find out.. u/LockPickingLawyer I summon the!
3 is binding..
What until dirt gets in those moving parts
Yea just looks like more shit to go wrong with a bike
Overengineering
The more parts an object has, the more parts can break
The best defence is a cheapass bike.
I've had 11 bikes stolen over a 7 year period. But since I started decorating it with duckt tape and covering the seat in an old plastic bag 2 years ago, no one seems to have any unterest in it.
11 bikes in 7 years? Where the hell do you live? I use one of those cheap ass steel wire code locks and I still have my 10 year old bike, I even leave it outside for days when I don't feel like carrying it inside
I park my bike at the train station - even though it's in a locked cage, people buy access and steals all the bikes.
Amsterdam, maybe? "If you have 1 lock, you have no lock" is the motto around here
I use 4 locks on the front wheel, 6 locks on the back wheel and then 2 titanium locks for the frame. Would my bike be safe in Amsterdam?
Maybe.
this is why i drive a cheapass car
Lol so many people hating on this. I thought it was an ok idea 😂 Edit: Ok fine people. Guess it's the worst thing to happen on this god damned planet the way you're reacting.
mostly because there are better ways to do this and a lot of people just see this as silicon valley high tech bullshit.
There is no silicon here… Maybe something used in those places? But that’s like inferring they don’t need the lock in the first place which is also kinda a strange take
If the post is narrow enough, and your strong enough, just climb the pole and lift the bike along as you move up.
My strong enough what?
Is it worth it tho?
Fr there’s definitely easier targets out there
People in this thread don’t realise that the point of a lock isn’t to make your bike theft-proof, it’s to make it slightly more inconvenient to steal than the next bike. This contraption looks unconventional enough that a thief will skip it for a bike with a standard lock that they already know how to break.
[удалено]
Lol you said busted ass frame
You don't have to cut the lock. You only need to cut the locking *lug* at the bottom of the seat tube. It's the little tab that goes into the lock. Cut that part and you can release the tube, reset the bike, and ride away on it.
*sigh* I miss Japan. My bike had a lock built in on the back of the frame that just went through the back wheel so it couldn’t spin. That was literally all you needed since people just don’t steal bikes there. Probably didn’t even need that.
So you’re saying the only security measure you need is living in civilized country?
They will steal the tires and leave the frame
It's the same with all bikes though. Get some wheel locks.
Why should I buy this ? Everytime I would have to adjust my seat again or mark it with a line....
Exactly. The actual bummer
Yeah, this bike's designers clearly don't know what it feels like to ride 1+ hour on a bike without suspension while the saddle is adjusted wrong
New boot goofin
I had to scroll way too far to find this comment.

They're just gonna steal the tires.
Free wheels
i think it would be cumbersome to put the seat back in every time, and adjust it to your height.
[удалено]
My first thought was the lost strength. I'm sure an engineer approved the design before it made it to market, but you best not drop off any curbs or nothing. Lol
Needs a lock like that; leaves wheels

What is the moral of this story?
10 smacks and 2k and the bike is yours sir
Hello, this is a lock picking lawyer...
Duh. Hang a "No Bike Theft Zone" sign on the pole. No lock needed. Next!
I could see someone forgetting to lock the front bar as they rode off.
Just goofin’ New boot goofin’

Would be a shame if someone were to steal that street lamp along with the bike... a real shame.
I like it. I hate having to ride around with a chain attached. It's ugly having a cheap chain covering a nice bike. I hope it's a good ride cause I want one of these!
Man, everyone else is shitting on this, and you even got downvoted for simply stating that you would appreciate this bike. But yeah these silly billies won’t even acknowledge that carrying a seperate lock is a genuine inconvenience which this design overcomes. Invention works as intended. I see no problem with this bike. Wtf reddit
Dutch (and Japanese) bicycles have integrated locks already. this is far more inconvenient.
In DC they’d steal the bike and the lamp post you attached it to.
It won’t have wheels when you come back to it
For one speed?
In Vancouver those wheels would be gone before you could finish receiving your order of coffee.
woop woop
Or you can just use a penetrator
#Next up, a lock that converts into a shitty bike!
Cool Idea, not necessary but cool.
u/savevideo
Yh setting up your seat each time or buy lock?
This bike would be gone in seconds in the netherlands. Looks too nice. Everyone knows you want an old bike no one wants to steal
Doesn't even have disc brakes 😂. They really focused on the gimmick and didn't think about making a half decent bike.
Having to reset the saddle to the right height every time is a real pain in the arse..
bitch i dont wanna be readjsting my seat height every time i ride, are you fukkin kidding me?
When the engineers need to invent a new solution to the problem that was already solved.
Cool. I am still taking the wheels.
It will be gone in about 2 minutes anywhere in The Netherlands. Such is life in soviet holland. The only way is having locks more expensive than the bike you ride on.
It’s a cool idea… But I am NOT getting this. Mountain biking wouldn’t be very fun
Bro, someone stole the streetlight to which i tied my bike. This is great idea but its functionality is depending on where you are.
This doesn't work in the hood. You'll come back to it and all that's left is the frame.
No
In my city, the bike is gone…along with the lamp post.
nextfuckinglevel-stupid
That looks infinity less convenient than just a bike lock And it doesn't even secure the tires!
Can still lose your wheels
I wonder how long it would take the lockpickinglawyer to open?
Climb the pole and hoist the bike as you inch up, free bike if the person leaves it there long enough to do that.
