There is certainly no shortage of bike lock systems on the market today, but the 'I LOCK IT' system is certainly destined to be one of the more innovative ones out there.
Preventing a bicycle from being stolen traditionally required users to locate a pole or a locking station and lock their bicycle accordingly. However, the 'I LOCK IT' works by simply locking the bike when the rider moves away from it. This makes it ideal for couriers or those that need to make multiple stops during a ride without having to worry about locking it up tight for only a few minutes.
The 'I LOCK IT' bike lock systems can operate with your smartphone, a key fob or a PIN code, and are currently available for preorder on Kickstarter.
