"Assume the position," barked Batman, as he wrestled his captive into a supine position. "Ooh, I just love it when you talk dirty to me," purred Catwoman, an enigmatic half-smile playing about her whiskers, as she was bat-handled into submission.

Made of hardened, laminated steel, and based on the design for police-issue manacles, the bike cuff is all kinds of wonderful. You can lock up to three bikes at the same time, and the ring is big enough to secure to signposts to deter would-be tea-leaves. The heat-treated lock is pick-proof and there's a hardened pivot link, which means no busting your bike using leverage. There is, however, one downside to the cuffs: price. Expect to pay US$158.50 for them. [
Designer Luis Beruman's new ZeroPointZero concept is a set of digital watch handcuffs. Yes, that's handcuffs, guys: snap them onto your own wrist for that cool jailhouse look, or share some happy time with a friend. We know very little about them apart from the photos in the gallery. Nevertheless, this fetishistic concept has got us all excitable, and we want them made into a real product. Now. Please? [
If you have an expensive bicycle, it might be a wise decision to invest in a serious lock that is capable of foiling would-be thieves.

Made from hardened laminated steel, a hardened pivot link and a heat-treated patented lock core, these cuffs are virtually indestructible—which is why they come with a lifetime guarantee. It is no wonder these suckers will set you back around US$157. [
