Going Going Bike back revolutionary new titanium bicycle lock

ShareThis

We have taken our bike security obsession to new heights. We’ve joined hundreds of other bike security fanatics and backed the Ti Gr titanium lock being developed by a cycling enthusiast in the US called John Loughlin.

John was dissatisfied with all other locks on the market and, in particular, thought that Old style lock systems are “the antithesis of the thoughtful and efficient machine that is a bicycle”. We could hardly disagree with such eloquent thoughts, could we?

A sexy lock

Make what you want of his intriguing goal of creating a “sexy lock”, but you can’t argue with the reasons for choosing Titanium as the material for the “bow”. It results in the Ti Gr being far lighter than traditional locks and also, as their destructive testing video demonstrates, much stronger.

Lock destruction

As fellow-creators of videos involving destructive testing of locks we felt a natural empathy with John and his Ti Gr. We wish him well and hope that he spends our $1 contribution to his project well.
