Device to deter bike thieves by disabling steering

    The new bike lock will help discourage bike theft by disengaging the bike's steering system, making it a bit harder for thieves to 'snip, grab and ride.'
    The system will be integrated into the bike's stem, where it will be locked or locked by a key. The system will be securely fastened for riding, but a simple turn of a key will disconnect the handlebar stem from the fork--making it impossible for anyone to steer the bike.
    In addition to deterring thieves, the handlebar disconnect function will allow the bike to become more compact, making it easier to store or park in tight spaces.
