Abstract:
A free-standing bicycle parking rack has multiple bicycle parking stations that accommodates most bicycles, including those equipped with disc brakes. The rack has a generally rectangular base, with two longitudinal tubular members rigidly coupled to two lateral tubular end members. Each parking station includes a pair of generally parallel, spaced-apart, interconnected V-shaped uprights which are affixed to one of the longitudinal members. A straight brace interconnects each of the uprights with the longitudinal member to which it is not directly affixed. Upright pairs can be alternately reversed so that each pair is affixed to the opposite longitudinal member, thereby facilitating parking of bicycles on both sides of the rack. A sliding collar, a tire-securing bracket, and a pair of bungee cords, which are provided for each parking station, enable the front or rear wheel of a bicycle to be securely clamped in place for transport.
