New Bike Lock Alerts Authorities When You Crash

You could call it OnStar for your bike, I guess. The new Skylock bike lock not only protects your bike, but also protects you. If someone tries to steal your bike, the lock alerts you. But if you wipe out while riding it, the lock alerts the authorities if you don't respond within a set amount of time. And it's solar powered so the batteries never die, leaving you with your bike locked forever to a pole.
