Three young Chileans “invented a bike” again, creating a model that is protected from theft. The secret bike that can not be stolen, that is transformed into a mounting frame. If thieves cut the metal, as they usually do with locks, the bike will be left without part of the frame – and therefore will not make sense to steal it.

According to CNN, the founders of the brand YERKA – 22, 23 and 24 years old. They are worried by the fact that every year in the world there is 15 million stolen bicycles. Once they have successfully developed a prototype of a special bike, they left university studies and took up their own business. State fund was able to invest in their project was $ 100 thousand, but they chose crowdfunding, collecting the required amount through the website Indiegogo.

They have already sold 197 bikes – most to the United States and European countries, several bicycles will travel to Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong, found few buyers in Chile, the home of inventors. They complain that their country has poorly developed cycling infrastructure, but hope for improvement of it in the future.

It’s worth saying that ranking of the best cities for cyclists is headed by Copenhagen. In the three most favorable cities for cyclists there are Amsterdam, who led the rankings in 2013, and the Dutch Utrecht.
