ABSTRACT:
A novel bicycle rack provides a variety of locking positions which are conveniently available to a bicycle rider who places his bicycle adjacent an elongated panel forming part of the rack. The rack includes at least one convenient locking loop through which the "U" of a shackle lock or a chain may be threaded to secure the bicycle to the rack. The elongated panel provides added protection for the bicycle by limiting the turning radius of the front wheel while cushioning the frame and other bicycle equipment from damage often caused by metal to metal contact on traditional racks. Unlike conventional racks, the wheels are not employed as the main support for holding the bicycle upight, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the rim or spokes.
