InterLock combines a seatpost and bike lock in one device
« Back to Article
The InterLock consists of a key-opened 8-mm braided steel cable lock, that is stuffed inside a 27.2-mm diameter seatpost when not in use
The InterLock could be used in conjunction with a harder-to-hack U-lock, for added security
The InterLock in use
The two ends of the lock stick out of the post just beneath the saddle, allowing the user to grab them and pull out most of the cable when it’s time to lock up
The InterLock bicycle lock/seatpost
The cable should be run through the frame and around an adjacent immovable object, so that even if the seatpost is removed, the bike still can’t be stolen

Article Summary
People really don’t want to carry their bike locks around with them, do they? Over the past few years, we’ve seen locks that fit in a water bottle cage, get strapped to the top tube, or that are even worn as a belt. The InterLock’s approach is particularly interesting, however ... it’s integrated into its own seatpost.
