ABSTRACT:
A locking bicycle rack comprises a plurality of individual bicycle stalls each including a bifurcated swing arm which is pivotally mounted to traverse the stall and engage both wheels and the frame of a bicycle positioned within the stall. The swing arms engage a locking mechanism which includes a latch to maintain the swing arms across the stalls while the stalls are unoccupied. Upon receipt of a predetermined number of coins, a centrally located stall selection mechanism allows selection of an unoccupied stall and operation of the associated latch to release the selected stall. Each locking mechanism includes a guard cap which surrounds, protects and operates an associated lock. Operation of the locks as well as lock securing pins is via cam surfaces within the guard caps. Each lock is operated by a key which is captured within the guard cap while a stall is unoccupied.
