ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a novel bicycle locking system for bicycles of all makes which embodies a conventional key and tumbler arrangement coupled to a cam and locking pin. The locking assembly of the system is installed on the steering column of the bicycle's frame and becomes an integral part of the bicycle. When in the locked position, the locking assembly renders the bicycle unrideable by virtually locking the steering wheel in a zero degree or forty-five degree angle. The locking assembly includes a first locking component with a semi-cylindrical surface positionable around the frame of a bicycle at an elevation adjacent to the elevation of an aperture therethrough. The assembly includes a second locking component with a semi-cylindrical surface positionable around the frame in mating contact with the first locking component to form a cylindrical component around the frame. The intermediate component has a radial aperture positioned in alignment with the aperture of the frame. The second locking component is provided with a recess and a lock, the recess with a locking pin movable from a withdrawn inoperative orientation wherein the pin extends through the aperture and one of the apertures of the drive shaft.
