Abstract
A bicycle support that when attached to a vertical surface can support a wheel of a bicycle upright and support the bicycle upright with the wheels of the bicycle resting on a horizontal surface. The bicycle support has opposed projections having support parts between which the tire and rim of a bicycle can be received and supported, retaining parts to help retain the tire of the bicycle between the support parts, and guide parts for guiding a tire between the retaining parts and to a position between the support parts. The distance between the support parts is adjustable to support bike wheels with different width tires, and the projections are positioned at an angle with respect to the surface to which the bicycle support is attached that allows the entire bicycle engaged with the bicycle support to be positioned closely adjacent the surface to which the bicycle support is attached.
