Handcuffs for bicycle lock?













The other day, on my way home, I saw a lady trying to lock her bike with her cable lock, and then I thought, why not use a handcuff as a bicycle lock? I mean, it's easy enough to just swipe the thing at the tire and then it'll lock your tire alright. And if you are looking for more security, simply swipe the other one on something else, like a bicycle stand on the ground or something.

Pros :

- small, easy to carry and store on a bicycle
- easy to use, just slightly whack the thing on the tire and it's locked.
- double security, better than the on board lock for the rear tire. (like the photo below)








Cons :

- won't work if you are tying your bicycle to a big pole


While I was searching for a photo for the on board lock on net, I found out that someone out there already had the same idea.











Darn~~~ !!

But since someone had the same thought as I do, I guess the idea will work. But how come I don't see the thing in the market yet?
