Outline
The world’s first bicycle lock outfitted with an alcohol detector, developed to make people aware of the dangers of drunk-bicycling. The lock unlocks after checking the alcohol level of a cyclist’s breath. When alcohol is detected, it sends an alert to the pre-registered partner’s smartphone. This work combines the uniqueness of the gadget with a serious concept.
