Leave Thee a Stain on Thy Bike Thief - Yanko Design

In nature, things that are sharp, or colorful, or difficult, are a lot less probable to be eaten past bears. Bears will eat salmon instead of porcupines or cacti (supposing they have cacti available.) This is likewise true of bike thieves and bike locks. There are plenty of relatively fantabulous bike locks out at that place, just how many of them explode? The Smart Lock – It Explodes.

Michael Lambourn presents the Smart Lock: "'17% of cyclists have suffered bike theft in the final iii years; of these 24% no longer cycle at all, and 66% cycle less often' (Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions, 1997) Bike theft is deterring people from using 1 of the most efficient forms of environmentally friendly transport. It is considered petty theft but can take huge emotional outcome on the victim. Smart Lock is lightweight just offers boosted protection. It's quick and easy to use and allows the cyclist to lock both wheels and the frame. If breached, Smart Lock helps the authorities identify your bike, and links the perpetrator to the crime. It also stains the ground identifying areas vulnerable to theft. Smart Lock helps you keep your bike."

In a nutshell: when cut, colored liquid inside the entire length of the Smart Lock explodes forth unto the thief! The thief then proceeds to appear to have wizzed his or her pants. The liquid also stains the surrounding surface area.

While I can think of more than than a couple ways that ane could avoid the spray of death, I imagine that this particular lock would defer thieves the way security system installed stickers on automobile windows work. The thief thinks "imperial explosives? or the bike next to it?"
