My Tout Terrain has a handlebar lock (a thingy that when activated stops the handlebars from turning when parked so the loaded bike doesn’t pivot and fall, in conjunction with a decent kickstand) that has become an unexpected favorite addition. Are there other brands with this feature?

I've been using an ancient device called a flickstand for that. It attaches to the down tube and wedges against the tire.

There's a modern steering lock that's basically an extra bar that swings down from the handlebars and fits on to a ball on the top tube, I think. Seemed expensive, though.

It doesn't automatically undo itself on riding forward like the flickstand either. So seems less convenient.

Handlebars can still turn, but the wheel stops rotating when you use a parking brake like this:



The extra wide hair elastic bands from Dollar Tree. When new, only one strap around the brake lever is enough, after some use they lose their elasticity and another wrap may be needed, such as shown.

Some on this forum have used velcro for the same purpose, but I like the elastic bands as they are stored on the bar and ready for use.

There's the SteerStopper accessory that can be added to most bikes.

I don't know of any bikes that come with it. Though, Co-Motion does offer it as an optional accessory for many of their bike models.

Thanks for the above options but just interested in this option on other brands, thanks.

They sell it separately:

People say it requires brazing something on to the head tube, though:

I’m helping someone buy a touring bike. They like this mechanism but don’t want to buy a Tout Terrain. I couldn’t find common touring bike manufactures with this so I’m shaking the trees with this thread. But yes, one could add it.

My Riese and Müller Supercharger has it but I believe that is a function of the Acros Headset and not as part of the bike.

I was touring with a (double-leg) kickstand for 20 years, before my wife got a Tout Terrain. I (and she) loved the steering lock so much that I was immediately jealous, so I got the SteerStopper as an add-on for my bike. It's at least as good as TT's integrated solution. The SteerStopper takes a bit more force to engage/disengage, but it's a bit less-fiddly than the TT (though my wife has TT's v1; your v2 might be slightly better). I know you're only looking for an integrated solution, but I just wanted to say that as someone who has had experience with both, they're essentially equally excellent upgrades. Both come with the same nice side-effects too: keeping your headset bearings in-place if you remove your stem, and acting as minor bit of security for someone attempting to ride off on your bike.

The SteerStopper initially seemed stupidly-expensive for what it is, but the cost quickly felt "worth it" for the value it delivers. I've had it for four years, and we both engage our steering locks literally every time we get off our bikes.

I have this one. Extremely convenient. One engaged leaning the bike against a wall, a post, a bench, doesn't end with the front wheel tilting and the bike falling on the side

Feels like as long as the destination frame has some head tube sticking up you could just stick any pipe clamp with a projection on there to replace the braze on:

Then the rest of the TT Ergostop should fit as long as the headset and steerer tube diameter are the same.

On a tour, when I lean the bike against a wall, almost always, it is the front and rear panniers that contact the wall and prevent the dreaded front wheel pivot.

I use a short strap through the wheel and around the down tube.

I find it great to be able to lean the bike against a single support point: a tree or post. There’s not always a good wall around to lean the whole bike against.

Not really a lock per se, but I have an 80's Raleigh Marathon mixte with a similar device. It's a cable guide with a metal piece the flips down to lock onto the tire. Unfortunately for me, just cracked.
