    Abstract: The invention is a bicycle frame having an integrated bicycle locking mechanism. Roughly mid-length of a tube of the bicycle frame is removed in order to accommodate the locking mechanism. Secured within one of the exposed ends of the frame is a flexible wire that can emerge and lock itself to a locking receptacle located on the other open end of the frame. Located on the exposed end of the flexible linkage is the locking mechanism. The invention is designed so as to enable the flexible wire to wrap around a stationary object, such as a pole or bicycle stand. Alternatively, the flexible wire can wrap around the rear wheel of the bicycle so as to prevent the bicycle from being used.
