    Bicycle is the prime means of transportation that is learnt during our childhood days. It is cheap, reliable, altered, environmental friendly and does not require licence to drive. With the advancement in modern technology and materials, cycles are now lighter, faster and expensive.

    Today cycles are classified by their function, sport, material, propulsion etc. So one type of cycle is different from other types and therefore it has its own tradeoff, e.g. to give more aesthetic appeal to a bicycle, features like carrier, mudguard, mounted locks etc are removed. People of current generation rides sports bike than the classic bike and they often face problems using sports bike as they need to be well maintained and secured.

    Security is one of the problems faced by many people who uses these cycles and the locking system is poor and not met with the current trend in cycles. Here, we studied the problems faced by people while cycling and in their cycles. Among the problems, we chose to redesign bicycle locks. We also discuss about the design exploration.
