Is a bike lock patented?
Short answer: specific designs of a bike lock have been patented many times, but "a bike lock" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.

What this means for your idea
Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a bike lock been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Bike locks are an old field; novelty tends to live in the mounting system, the locking mechanism, or electronics such as alarms and solar charging.
