Abstract
The present invention relates to a bicycle parking lock apparatus adapted for locking a crank of the bicycle. The apparatus includes a primary lock part and a secondary lock part movable reciprocatingly relative to the primary lock part. The primary lock part defines a recess adapted to receive the crank. The recess is provided with a sidewall such that when the crank is received in the recess, an outboard side of the crank at a first end thereof is shielded by the sidewall. The secondary lock part is adapted to hold the crank in position in cooperation with the primary lock part.
