Closed-loop handlebar locking device for a bicycle
A closed loop handlebar locking device is securely coupled to a bike allowing safe and accurate steering of the bike. Device is further suitable for locking the bike when not in use. Device is configurable to lock a bike to a fixed object, such as a signpost while still attached to the stem of the bike. The device is also configurable to lock the bike when a suitable object is not available. In such a situation the device may be removed from the stem, passed around the frame and through one or both wheels. The device is attached to the stem via a stem piece that remains attached to the stem when the device is detached. Brakes, lights, computer and other accessories and components are attached to the stem piece. The bike is unsuitable for operation if the handlebar locking device is defeated by a would-be thief.
