Why didn't anyone else think of this? My favorite part of the design is the lockable "ends". Very cool.

Interesting idea, but as others noted the lock does nothing to prevent a thief from tossing it in a vehicle and driving off. My 1972 Raleigh Superbe has a locking fork, but since it weighs almost 50# it's much more difficult to toss.

N.B. I don't rely on the fork lock, but use a Kryptonite lock.
