An assembly for mated dual support stands is presented. The assembly comprises two support stands. Each support stand includes three or more legs operable between a closed conformation and an open conformation, such that in the closed conformation, the two support stands reversibly mate with each other. A support interface is positioned opposite the legs so that the support interface is reversibly attachable to an elongated tube via attachment components. A center adaptor is positioned connected to the support interface on one end and the three or more legs on the opposite end. The center adaptor and support interface are rotatably coupled.

A vehicle station system includes a dock having a latch configured to secure a bicycle to the dock and release the bicycle from the dock. The dock also includes a computing system that includes a processor and an interface operatively coupled to the processor and configured to receive authentication information from a user. The processor is configured to authenticate the user based on the authentication information, and, responsive to authentication of the user, cause the latch to transition from a locked configuration to an open configuration such that the user can remove the bicycle from the dock. The computing system also includes a transceiver operatively coupled to the processor and configured to maintain a communication connection between the dock and a remote server. The transceiver is also configured to transmit a user identification corresponding to the user and a bicycle identification corresponding to the bicycle to the remote server.

An apparatus for securing a bicycle includes a structure configured to be mounted to a secure surface, the structure having an internal cavity. A door is moveable relative to the structure between an open position in which a pedal can be received into the internal cavity of the structure and a closed position in which the pedal is retained in the internal cavity, and a locking device is configured to lock the door in the closed position.

A smart lock of a bicycle includes a bicycle locking apparatus and a dock locking apparatus. The bicycle locking apparatus works with a key to lock the bicycle without dock, and the dock locking apparatus works with a dock to lock the bicycle to the dock. The bicycle locking apparatus includes a gear, a locking member, and a driving module. The locking member has a locking tooth portion, the driving module moves the locking member to engage and disengage the locking tooth portion of the locking member with an engaging portion of the key. The dock locking apparatus has a locking latch and a stop member. The driving module moves the locking member to let the stop member against or away from the locking latch to lock or unlock the bicycle to the dock.
