ABSTRACT:
A deployed device projects through the spokes of a rear wheel and supports a bicycle from a two strut portion of the bicycle frame. A first bar member is placed between spokes and one end is hooked over a first frame strut. This first bar member bears up against the lower portion of a second parallel strut while held in place by the hooked first strut. A second projecting member is hinged at a first end to the other end of the first bar and engages the ground at the second end to support the bicycle in a nearly upright position. The projecting element is also capable of telescoping to allow adjustment to various sizes/styles of bicycles. The first bar member placement under and over struts (and between wheel spokes ) deters unauthorized use by requiring removal before wheel can be rotated. A padlock may also be provided to secure the stand/anti-theft device to the frame and/or fixed object to further deter unauthorized use. Because of the hooked over and open bearing up surface design, no clamp is needed to attach the deployed stand it adapts to many different sizes and styles. When the riding of the bicycle is desired, the device is removed from between the spokes, folded and collapsed and conveniently carried or strapped to the frame or left in the car when racing, minimizing weight and wind resistance.
