Theft-Proof Bike Lock Stows Your Bike High Up Any Nearby Pole

JSDavis82
You'd be stupid to leave your bike unattended and without a lock. Unfortunately, all it takes to free a bike from its lock in about .75 seconds is a heavy-duty set of cable cutters.

This bike lock from a German company called Conrad, thwarts all would-be bike thieves...except those that share an abnormal amount of genetic makeup with our primate ancestors.

WEND Magazine's blog says,

They [Conrad] deem it to be “the most secure bike lock in the world.” What makes it so, according to Conrad, is that the lock itself hoists your bike up to a point that it is literally out of reach of any thief. It does this through the utilization of small motorized wheels, which mechanically raise your bike on a street lamp pole up what looks to be about ten or twelve feet off the ground.

This bike lock hoists your bike to its lofty resting place via a small wireless remote control.
