Description

bicycle tripod

This creation is about a tripod, specifically a tripod installed on a bicycle to provide parking.

There are many options for moving around in the city, such as taking public transportation (buses, MRT), driving a private vehicle or using a shared vehicle, etc. Riding a bicycle is one of the common choices, especially when bicycles are combined with public transportation to facilitate people's transfer and avoid traffic congestion and difficulty in finding parking spaces. In addition to the current transportation network that is suitable for bicycles (bicycle-only roads, roads where pedestrians and bicycles coexist), and sufficient parking spaces are built next to public transportation, government agencies, schools, libraries, parks, shopping malls and other facilities, therefore Riding a bicycle as a means of transportation has become a part of daily life for many people.

However, bicycles can easily become targets for theft when parked in the above facilities. Even if a lock is used when parked, it can only delay the destruction/breaking time for a short period of time and reduce the risk of theft. Stolen bicycles are difficult to find. In this regard, many car owners will buy locators (such as APPLE AIR TAG) and wear them on their bicycles. Not only can they provide a wide parking space to find their bicycles, but they can also track the location of their bicycles through their smartphones after they are stolen, which can solve the problem. It reduces the hassle of searching for a stolen bicycle and allows you to find your lost bicycle conveniently and quickly.

If the above-mentioned locator is worn on the bicycle in an obvious position, once the thief finds it, he will remove it and throw it aside, making it impossible to follow up on the stolen bicycle. In order to avoid being discovered, many users will stick the above-mentioned locator on the bottom of the seat cushion. However, this method of sticking is prone to the problem that the locator will fall off on its own during riding, and it will still cause problems that cannot be traced later. Furthermore, this method requires you to remove and reattach the battery every time the locator runs out of power, which is inconvenient to use.
