[0002] The invention relates to a device that serves as a bicycle stand with resistance to physical attacks and is simultaneously capable of effectively fending off vehicle attacks. The bicycle stand is characterized by a shallow installation depth of approximately 20 cm and can withstand the impact of a vehicle weighing up to 7.2 tons at a speed of approximately 50 km / h. The elimination of concrete as a foundation material enables simple and quick installation or retrofitting. The device is also partially or completely dismantled and mobile and flexible in its use, making it particularly suitable for use in urban areas and municipalities. Technical features 1. Structure and material ◯ The bike stand consists of at least one high-strength steel frame with energy-absorbing elements that redirect and dampen impact energy. ◯ Elastic components in the construction ensure additional energy absorption. ◯ The structure is designed to stop a vehicle in the event of an attack while minimizing damage to the device. 2. Foundation and anchoring ◯ The anchoring takes place in a specially prepared gravel bed with compaction, enclosed in a ground coating, e.g. paving, which partially dissipates the kinetic energy into the subsoil / path or road surface. ◯ The low installation depth of approx. 20 cm allows use in places where only low installation depths are possible, such as in inner cities or similar. 3. Resistance to vehicle attacks ◯ The device is designed to withstand the impact of a vehicle (e.g. truck with a total weight of 7.2t) at a speed of up to 50 km / h. ◯ The robust construction prevents penetration by the attacking vehicle. 4. Modular design and flexibility ◯ The stand has a modular design and allows easy installation and disassembly, including the bracket, without causing permanent damage to the infrastructure. ◯ The number of modules can be adjusted depending on safety requirements. Each module typically consists of two bicycle racks. 5. Retrofitability and areas of application ◯ The construction is compatible with existing sidewalk and road structures, but can also be installed in newly created road structures. ◯ It is ideal for use in temporary or permanent security zones, such as in city centers, at events or in front of sensitive buildings.

[0003] This invention represents an effective and innovative solution for defending against vehicle attacks and at the same time offers a flexible and sustainable security solution for urban spaces and, for example, for events such as Christmas markets, weekly markets, gatherings, etc. List of reference symbols 1 bracket 2 base plate 3 Reinforcement profile 4 Recording 5 Lighting 6 Clamping
