Shaped like a burrito, feels like a blackjack, works like two Kryptonites stuck together? The Vierlock is a U-less u-lock, designed by Tallac to make big locks smaller. As protective bike-, trike- and moped-riders know, a big lock may be necessary to secure your ride but it can also be a big bummer in your bag. This right angle filled solution hitKickstarter today, and it promises a few interesting features. Up first: It’s collapsible in a responsible way.
Made of separate solid arms and not one but two locking bars, you get a lock that packs down to a more portable size with extra room internally when assembled. In addition to its smaller off-duty size, you can also replace the arms for longer or shorter ones, which is a pretty cool feature for those of us with dramatically different bikes in the stable. Even using the Sheldon Method the mini u-lock that fits my road bike is a bit of a pain with my fat-tired cruiser.
The multi-part design raised the eyebrows of the official and occasionally clumsy C77 bike department. However the design takes fumbling into consideration, allowing you to lock in one side entirely before closing the assembly with the second shackle.
