It can be a pain commuting everywhere on a bike. Especially when you forget to bring a bike chain with you so you can lock up your bike. The conceptual City Rack by designers Ilya Tkach and Nikita Gutsalenko will make life a bit easier for those who don’t have or forget their bike chain.
The rack has a lock built-in and several City Racks can be placed side-by-side, which makes for a great revenue generator for the city. The ring-shaped design makes it easy to lock your bike any which way you want. Sure, it isn’t free. But if that bothers you, then don’t forget your own lock and chain so you can lock it up anywhere.

That picture’s really dumb. Most bikes these days have a quick-remove front wheel, and it seems that the “lock” just goes around the front wheel. Anybody could have the bike free of that in 5 seconds. Now if the “lock” could be opened up enough to get it through the frame, that’s another story…
The idea is that it’s big enough to hold the bike in a variety of ways, including the frame.
