DHAKA: Three engineering students of Chile’s University of Adolfo Ibáñez have designed a bicycle that cannot be stolen.

This innovative cycle will be a game changer, reports esquire.com. The talent behind Project Yerka’s design is simple.



The frame disassembles to act as the bike’s own lock by dividing the middle pipe and attaching it to the removable seat. Like any lock, all that’s required is a post to fasten it to.

Unlike any lock, this thing is foolproof. The only way to steal this bicycle is to break its frame, which defeats the purpose, the report added.

The resale value of a stolen bike is not great when compared to other popular theft targets like laptops, jewelry, and cars. Nevertheless, a lot of bikes are stolen every year around the world.

The reason is simple: it’s easy. It takes one minute to actually steal a bicycle with a bolt cutter.

Fortunately (for us), one Chilean engineering student was the victim of bike theft two too many times, so he and his friends decided to do something about it.

This common crime could now become a thing of the past, thanks to Andrés Roi, Cristóbal Cabello, and Juan José Monsalve.
