Abstract A handlebar bicycle lock of the type embodying a resilient cable which is anchored at one end within the handlebar, yet has its free end supported within the handlebar when not in use. The free end of the cable is extensible from one open end of the handlebar so as to encircle a portion of the wheels and frame of the bike, being secured thereto by means of a padlock. The cable and padlock thus lock the handlebars and wheels during non-use.
