Aspects of the present disclosure include a bicycle mount apparatus for securing a bicycle within a container, such as a shipping container. The apparatus includes a base plate having at least one aperture and a reinforcement plate having at least one mounting pin. Each mounting pin is configured to be inserted through a side of the container and an aperture. The side of the container is sandwiched between the base plate and the reinforcement plate. The apparatus also includes a bicycle fork extension extending up from the base plate and configured to couple to a bicycle fork of the bicycle. In some aspects, the apparatus also includes a bicycle fork assembly configured to couple to the bicycle fork extension. The bicycle fork assembly includes a plurality of bicycle fork adapters. Each bicycle fork adapter is configured to couple to the bicycle fork of the bicycle.

A backpack support system has a frame, which is equipped with shoulder straps and preferably also a waist belt and which preferably inherently rigid so hat the loads that occur during use, the frame only flexes by inevitable amounts in the millimeter range by which any rigid body flexes when subjected to a load. A bike mount is fastened to the frame. The bike mount is embodied so that the bike, almost exclusively by its frame or frame components such as the rear fork can be fastened directly to the frame, i.e. without luggage or a pack compartment being situated between the bike and the frame in the points at which the bike rests directly against the frame. When properly fastened, the bike is thus affixed to the frame so that it cannot move.

A system for compactly storing and easily transporting one or more two-wheeled vehicles, comprising a plurality of slender trays, wherein each tray comprises a tray base, one or more slotted wheel housing(s), a wheel securement subassembly; one or more cross-member(s); a plurality of casters and/or resting pads; wherein the tray bases are attached to the cross-member(s) at an orthogonal angle; wherein the casters and/or resting pads are each attached to the underside of the cross-member(s). Trays may be secured to the cross-members so that the front of each bicycle is oriented in an alternating fashion from one tray to the next. The longitudinal fore-aft position of each tray may also be in a staggered arrangement. Finally, vertical riser blocks placed between a cross-member and a tray may be further employed.

A unified carrier cargo rack and storage system for a vehicle including a receiver unit installed in the rear of the vehicle and a modular carrier rack, including a transitional carrier bar, a secondary bar and a cargo carrier bar, wherein the cargo carrier bar is further operable to engage and immobilize cargo; are disclosed as are male and female securing mechanisms.

A removeable motorcycle rack which can be quickly slipped into two existing stake pocket slots on the opposite sides of the vehicle bed. The rack is then secured with the use of mounting points at the bottom front of bed where a turnbuckle hook is used to secure the rack to the vehicle on each side. Once the motorcycle rack is secured, up to three motorcycles can be mounted securely in the rear of a vehicle. With the use of additional brackets, or stand mounts with stake pockets, the rack can be installed on an open trailer or in an enclosed trailer.

The present disclosure is for a pile-free parking management system and method comprising: an information manager which receives parking sensing information and locking information, and determines if a vehicle is properly parked and returned. The system comprises a plurality of sensing units each with a sensor and a sensing object installed onto and paired with a parking location and a vehicle. These sensing units are activated only when the sensor is aligned with the sensing object within a predetermined proximity of each other. Either the sensors and/or the sensing objects are installed at a parking location in a strategic and organized fashion. This system and method aim to maximize vehicle-parking capacity, and ensures orderly parking at the same time.
