On most bikes nowadays, there is a
mechanism for the 'quick release' of your
bike saddle, making it easier to adjust at
a moments notice. This is great, because
it doesn't require the usage of an alan
key I think was what my old bike used to
need.
However recently some little
fool used
this quick release to steal my
bike saddle, not the bike, because that
was locked up, oh no just the
saddle
Anyway to my idea. All
quick release saddles would now have a
small combination lock built into them.
This means that although it may not be
instantaneously quick to adjust the
saddle, it only takes a couple of seconds
to unlock it.
needless to say I didn't
ride the bike home.

thought this was going to be an ejector saddle |

I suppose there could be a tamper system built in so that if a potential thief tryed stealing the saddle, it could use compressed CO2 to fire itself into the air, thus smacking the thief square in the chops, thereby rendering them unconscious. It could then reel itself back into place and lock into position again. |
