Benefits of technology

[0006] According to the present invention, a rack is disclosed for regulating the parking of bicycles. The rack includes a base that provides flexibility in length and at least one pair of restraints installed on the base.
[0007] The primary advantage of the rack according to the present invention is that the base provides flexibility in length and hence flexibility in the number of pairs of restraints and hence flexibility in the number of bicycles of which the parking can be regulated by the rack.

Problems solved by technology

A problem with the rack 1 is that the number of bicycles that can be restrained is determined when the length of the tracks 3 is set.
Another problem with the rack 1 is the inconvenience to use this conventional rack since a wheel of a bicycle can only be put between a pair of restraints from the gap between the inclined portions 112 of the arched bones 11.
