Congrats to Lily K. of Las Vegas for winning a gift pack from mobile-accessories maker Tylt in last week's giveaway. Lately, designers have been putting a lot of thought into designing a better bike lock. This week, we've got one of those for you.

Foldylock

The Foldylock is a 3-foot-long bike lock that folds into a portable, manageable block that's easy to easy to carry in a backpack or mount on your bike frame. It's made with six hardened steel links for maximum security and anti-drilling rivets that will unfold and lock your bike in as little as 30 seconds.

The lock got its start on Kickstarter, where it surpassed its $10,000 funding goal by more than $30,000. Now it's a real live product that sells for $95 and is locking in glowing reviews on the product's site. So what do you have to do to get a Foldylock for free? There are a few rules, so please read carefully before riding.
