For many years automobile owners have enjoyed the ability to secure their wheels to their vehicle using wheel lock nuts.
Now an enterprising company has decided to offer a similar type of system designed to better protect our bicycles.
Bicycle locks come in many varieties, shapes, sizes and grades of security. Most often bicycle security products involve a chain or cable secured by a padlock or other type of lock like a D lock. D locks are designed to secure the wheel and chassis around a pole or similar. They are often bulky and can be quite heavy, if not awkward to operate and store on the bicycle.
Bicycle riders have been known to carry their elaborate locking system in a napsack or clipped to the bike rack but this often increases the weight and rattle of the bike.
But when you have secured your prized possession to the pole, often the wheels and pedals and other parts may never be included in the security package.
Thanks to a United Kingdom research and development company Atomic22, their new Infiniti3D system may be the answer that bicycle manufacturers have been hoping for, to better secure all components of the bicycle.
The concept is quite straightforward. Replace the existing fasteners on your bicycle with especially designed high security and especially encoded fasteners that require a unique key to be used to assemble/disassemble.
The Infiniti3D key is unique. Not one of 256 or 512. Not a 'unique key code' assigned to a ubiquitous key. Each key is unique to the set. Each system is registered and recorded by the manufacturer and future replacement keys can be obtained upon request by an authorised person.
At the heart of the technology is the patent pending Infiniti3D manufacturing process. A revolutionary method for creating keys in 3 dimensions enables unique keys to be recreated for individual customers. With no 2 keys alike, security is now dramatically intensified and provides the bicycle owner with unparalleled security of their prized possession.
