COMPACT BIKE LOCK
There is described a shackle (100) configured for use with a crossbar (200) including a pair of openings (208) and a locking mechanism (230) configured to engage with the shackle (100), the shackle (100) comprising a plate portion (110) and a pair of longitudinally-offset legs (120) extending from the plate portion (110) in a lateral direction (y). The plate portion (110) has a length (311) in a longitudinal direction (x), a thickness (310; 310') in the lateral direction (y), and a first width (304; 304') in a transverse direction (z). The length (311) is greater than the first width (304; 304') and the first width (304; 304') is greater than the thickness (310; 310'). The legs (120) are fixedly and immovably secured to the plate portion (110) such that the plate portion (110) prevents relative movement of the legs (120). Each leg (120) includes a corresponding and respective foot (125) configured to be received in a corresponding one of the pair of openings (208) of the crossbar (200) and to engage the locking mechanism (230) of the crossbar (200) to secure the shackle (100) to the crossbar (200), leaving a portion of each leg (120) exposed. The exposed portion of each leg (120) has a diameter (308; 308'). Each leg (120) is configured to maintain an offset distance (302; 302') between the plate portion (110) and the crossbar (200) when the shackle (100) is secured to the crossbar (200), the first width (304; 304') being greater than each of the diameter (308; 308') and the offset distance (302; 302').
