It should come as no surprise that we love bikes. Fixies, hybrids, mountain bikes, it doesn’t matter because there’s no feeling quite like the feeling you get when you’re on two wheels barreling through traffic or down a mountain. The fact that we want to take our bike everywhere is exactly where the problem of security comes in. When you’re riding a quality set of wheels, you can’t very well just leave it on street corner. You need to lock it up and that means one of two things. Either you ride around with a U-lock leaving an uncomfortable bulge in your pants, or you go Mad Max and wear a chain lock over your shoulder. Either way, the end result isn’t pretty. The Hiplok is part tension strap, part covered bike chain and stylish enough to be another fashionable bike accessory. Being a road warrior doesn’t have to be so barbaric any more.
