ABSTRACT:
A bicycle with a key-operated locking mechanism for securing the steering connection between the handlebar and the front wheel fork to the frame to disable the bicycle. A lock cylinder in a protective housing is mounted on the rear side of the head tube of the frame, in the "V" of the frame struts, and has a lock body with an arcuate recess in which the fork stem is nested, and has a radial bolt that swings in an annular groove in the lock body, between a retracted, unlocking position and a forwardly extended, locking position in which the bolt projects into the recess and into one of two angularly spaced longitudinal locking slots in the telescoped fork and handlebar stems, thereby to prevent steering.
