Rider's Lock

The Rider's Lock is an aesthetically minimalistic, yet dead sexy integrated cable bike lock and is currently on KickStarter with only 2 weeks left to fund! The project would greatly benefit from the Two Spoke community's support in spreading the word, getting exposure to potential contributors, and offering feedback on the design. Check out the design and see a video of the Rider's Lock in use here:

ONE minute or less with a plumber's handheld pipecutter, and the classic is gone.....

And I'm not a bike thief; that's all it would take ME, if I was bent that way!

Cute, but not effective.

I'm pretty sure I could do the job quicker with a short steel bar inserted into the lock, to pry that bit off the bars. And my cordless Dremel would make quick work of the cable itself.

That setup may deter the casual thief, but that's it.
