Since the kids are generally careless enough to leave the cycle unlocked in hurry, this mechanism provides the automatic locking facility whenever the stand will be used. It can solve a major problem of College/student with the current locks and stands are not durable and thereby lead to loss of bicycle of students in public places. The use is simple involving just pushing a rod with the leg and both the locking and standing will be acquired.

CONCEPT FOR LOCKING:
It uses a cylindrical lock with two jaws coming out in the front of it. The jaws are movable to give a final shape of a circle just like the traditional rear lock of a bicycle. When the rod is to be pressed downwards, the jawed lock is stationed to face the U-clip welded to the hub of the rear wheel. This then can be locked with the jaws of the lock.

COST REDUCTION
• The cost involved in the existing mechanism is 200-300 rupees.
• Our product is a combination of both and involves less use of materials so cost will be lower than existing*
*If mass manufacturing is done.
• The approximation cost would be around 150-200 rupees.
