A reimagined bike lock design with a GPS chip inside allowing for tracking in case of theft. π
At an overall length of 11 inches, the lock is big enough to secure a front wheel and a bike frame to a parking-meter post. Itβs also sheathed in PVD titanium-ion-plated steel, which is more durable than the metals used in conventional locks. Other features include a silicone-rubber gasket on the inside surface to prevent bike frame scratches, a proximity-based locking operation, locks on each side and a 1.2β thick titanium core.
Designed by @aruliden for the #newyorktimesdesign issue. π
