<p>If you are sick of worrying about your bike being stolen or taking a lock with you wherever you go, this design will solve both of&nbsp;those every problems faced by bicyclists around the world.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/unstealable-bicycle-in-action-960x724.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="first-image img-responsive" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/unstealable-bicycle-in-action-960x724.jpg" alt="unstealable bicycle in action" width="960" height="724"></a></p>

<p>In less than 20 seconds, the <a href="http://nadiemelaroba.cl/">Unstealable Bike</a>&lsquo;s locking system can be deployed by unlatching and rotating two pieces of the frame, then&nbsp;sliding out and using the seat bar to connect and secure those two parts.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/unstealable-bike-leaning-bridge-960x724.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-70461" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/unstealable-bike-leaning-bridge-468x353.jpg" alt="unstealable bike leaning bridge" width="468" height="353"></a></p>
<p>Unlike most quick-release seats, the ability to slide out the bar becomes an asset rather than a liability in this case, making it possible to lock up your bicycle with one of its most frequently-stolen pieces.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/unstealable-cycle-prototype-design-960x724.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-70457" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/unstealable-cycle-prototype-design-468x353.jpg" alt="unstealable cycle prototype design" width="468" height="353"></a></p>
<p>The scale of the components employed makes it easy to attach the cycle to anything from a slim signpost to a thick tree.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/unstealable-bike-engineering-team-960x636.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-70459" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/unstealable-bike-engineering-team-468x310.jpg" alt="unstealable bike engineering team" width="468" height="310"></a></p>
<p>Created by a team of three engineers, the bike is currently a prototype and seeking funding for mass-production and sale. Its builders bill it as safe, well-designed and comfortable &ndash; a more useful variant of the frequently-seen projects for collapsible bicycles.</p>
