Using a bicycle as a form of primary transport in Australia is fraught with difficulties.
The relationship between motorists and bike riders is tense, to say the least. Our roads aren’t really designed for bikes. You could also argue there isn’t enough education around who has right of way.
But, perhaps the most devastating of situations us cyclists have to deal with is a case of The Stolen Bike. One has not known true anger until they’ve gone to fetch their push bike, only to be met with a sad, broken lock. Fuck.
A pair of straight genius investors have noted this horrible reality and created the SkunkLock.
It works how it sounds. It looks like a regular U-lock, except when someone tries to break it, it lets loose a smell so pungent, so disgraceful, that the sticky fingered fuck will end up chundering everywhere. What a dream.

It works by emitting a non-toxic pepper spray, which makes it hard to see / breathe / exist without vomiting.
You can pre-order it now for $99 on Indiegogo. Full legality is still a bit up in the air for obvious reasons – but once it’s passed, you’ll be stinking out the joint.
