With no proper licensing and unavailability of apt bicycle parking slots, bike thefts have become a common snag nowadays. However, designer Grant Howarth has popped up with an innovative design called ‘Bicycle Security’ that not just provides a proper parking place for your bikes but keeps them safe from burglars and other roadside damages as well. A recent entry at the RSA Design Directions Competition, the modular bike security system, by the Scottish designer protects all quick release components, including the seat and wheels. Enveloping the bike steadily in the curved surface, the security system prevents the bike from rolling back by putting the rear wheel into a tight groove. The bike security can be located in dense spaces that ideally suit urban environments. Moreover, the security unit is capable of compensating its production cost within 3 years, as it can be used as a billboard for displaying commercial advertisements.
