Hiplok, the world’s first bicycle lock you can wear around your waist, is available in selected Canadian bike stores now. The unusual bike chain recently caught the interest of reviewers at Québec’s Vélo Mag:
Hiplok Lite bike lock, from Hiplok – hiplok.com
(Translated to English) “The very first wearable bike lock”. This is must-have gear/apparel for any hipster on two wheels. Its adjustable plane-like buckle keeps it nice and snug at the waist so it won’t get in your way when you’re pedaling and it won’t scratch your bike either. Unbuckle it from your hips to your bike in one cool movement. Its 6mm hardened steel chain links will make any bike thief’s life difficult. Available in a wide range of colors along with a reflective logo. You can also choose the beefed-up 8mm version. Velo Mag approved
