Abstract
A bicycle lock mounted on the bicycle which can be quickly actuated by a rider to immobilize the bicycle and prevent its being ridden away by a thief who has demanded surrender of the bicycle. The lock includes a manually operated member on the handlebar of the bicycle which is connected by a cable to the actual locking mechanism which when actuated immediately prevents a rotating member, e.g., a wheel, from rotating. The locking member, once removed to a locking position, can only be restored to a non-locking position when a key operated member is actuated to permit such restoration.
