Canadian invention that locks bicycle when rider dismounts
A Canadien inventor proposes an accessory for two bicycles that locks the machine when the rider leaves the saddle. The mechanism relies on a weighted seal pillar, enabling the ring to engage as long as the cyclist sits. On rough roads, jerking the pillar high may lock wheels and throw the rider, increasing risk of injury or theft.
