Abstract
A stand for securely parking a wheeled vehicle, particularly a bicycle, motorcycle, motor scooter or the like, is itself provided with a locking mechanism for locking the vehicle relative to the stand. This conveniently obviates the need for a vehicle owner to carry his own locking devices and related equipment, such as chains and cables, all of which can be cumbersome and heavy. The stand uses cable-actuated latch mechanisms to either provide the locking functionality directly or as a mechanism for securely retaining a cable or chain provided as part of the stand in a locking state.
