ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for a bicycle rack, which is capable of securely locking bicycles to the rack. The rack comprises a channel member for holding the wheels of the bicycle, the channel member being provided with holes in the region where the bicycle wheels are to be located. The bicycle rack further is provided with a slideable locking member, the slideable locking member having a generally extended U shape and having a central bar region joining two end bars which are insertable through the holes in the channel member. The slideable locking member is movable between a first unlocked position where the end bars are free of the interior of the channel member to allow the bicycle wheels to be located within the channel member and a second locked position where the end bars extend across the interior of the channel and hold the bicycle wheels within the channel member.
