A commuter's ideal
After a successfully backed Kickstarter campaign, Seatylock is producing two versions of its seat/lock combo, the smaller, lighter Trekking and the more cushioned Comfort version. Both feature the same one meter long folding lock.
Fitting the Seatylock to a bike looks to be relatively simple. The base uses the same two seat rails that practically all bicycle seatposts use.
The Seatylock base, lock and seat does add height so at best, you'll have to lower your seatpost. At worst, you might have to cut a bit off the end of the post, depending on the seatpost length and the bike frame.
Another benefit in high-crime areas is the fact the saddle is part of the lock so there's one less thing for thieves to steal.
Seatylocks are available now at its site and at select retailers.
