The RimLock bike acts as a lock itself and is designed to make a better life for a bike messenger, making it easier and quicker to lock and immobilize the bike. The inspiration of this bike came from the bike messenger or delivery person who tend to leave their bike unlocked because of the complexity and time required associated with this issue. The user just puts the key inside the bike’s hub and twists the rim to make it not rollable. Both the rear and front wheel have this locking ability and comprises a hole on the frame that will allow you to use chain lock to make it harder to steal the bike. This will make the bike safer in hazardous neighborhood.

how is this simpler or quicker than carrying around a cable lock? If someone has the time to break even a light weight lock they have enough time to pick up the bike and walk away with it.
Rim OK, but tire and tube???
What a stupid and impossible idea.
