ABSTRACT:
A connector for mounting a U-lock on the handlebar of a bicycle so that a bicyclist may steer the bicycle via the U-lock. Such an orientation of the U-lock further permits the bicyclist to maintain a forward leaning racing position to gain more power for pedaling. The connector includes a quick release means so that the U-lock is readily available for its conventional purpose of locking the bicycle to an object.
