ABSTRACT:
A rack for transporting things on a bicycle is configured for storing a shackle lock during use of the bicycle. The rack, which mounts above the rear wheel of a bicycle, has a horizontal platform with a nominal C-shaped cross section comprised of a top having downwardly extending and inwardly curving arms. The shackle of a lock is slidably insertable into the C-shape; the curved arms permit shackles of varying diameter and leg spacing to be stored. Outwardly deflectable arms, or leaf springs captured in lengthwise undercut grooves within the C-shape, press on the shackle to frictionally retain it. The rear end of the platform is angled so that when a shackle lock cross bar contacts it there is a downward force on the cross bar, to stop vertical shaking of the lock. The horizontal stays that hold the platform to the bicycle are slidably adjustable and locked in position by means of set screw cams in grooves running adjacent the grooves receiving the stays.
