The present disclosure is directed to a bicycle parking structure comprising a plurality of bicycle hangers supported by a crossbar assembly. Each bicycle hanger is configured to support a bicycle in a substantially vertical position. The bicycle hangers are spaced apart from one another along the length of the crossbar assembly. Each of the bicycle hangers may be secured to the crossbar assembly so that the bicycle hanger is fixed at a desired position or unsecured from the crossbar assembly so that the position of the bicycle hanger along the length of the crossbar assembly may be adjusted. In this manner, the distance between adjacent bicycles need not be fixed and the bicycle parking structure can be adapted for a particular space. The bicycle parking structure is designed to provide for a space-efficient, high-volume parking of bicycles.

A load-leveling hanging apparatus and a system for suspended lifting of objects are disclosed. The load-leveling hanging apparatus includes a carriage suspended from a line; a hanging beam adapted for attachment of multiple objects at points along the beam; a mechanism for moving the hanging beam relative to the carriage to thereby achieve a level condition; and a level indicator. The mechanism is a rotatable screw. The system includes the load-leveling hanging apparatus and a lifting device. The lifting device includes a drum for winding and unwinding a line; a motor coupled to the drum to apply a torque thereto; a guide to direct the line onto the drum; and a controller. The lifting device raises and lowers the suspended hanging apparatus.

A bicycle hanger for storing a bicycle in an elevated and suspended state features a support configuration that comprises a set of three support members, including a front support member spanning across a seat of a bicycle at an underside thereof in front of a seat post of said bicycle, an intermediate support member spanning across said seat post of said bicycle at a front side of said seat post, and a rear support member spanning across said seat post of said bicycle at a rear side of said seat post. In one embodiment, the intermediate support member is respectively connected to the front and rear support members by linking members extending from opposite ends of the intermediate member, thereby collectively imparting an S-shape layout to the support configuration.

A system for automatically correcting bicycle handlebar and warehousing the bicycle includes a bicycle and a warehouse box for storing the bicycle. The bicycle includes a bicycle frame, a handlebar, a stem, a front wheel and a rear wheel; an encoder is mounted on a bicycle frame for recording a rotation angle of a stem and sensing whether the handlebar is corrected. A rear-wheel correcting and fine-adjusting device is provided in the warehousing box or on the bicycle frame. The rear-wheel correcting and fine-adjusting device automatically twists a rear wheel according to a deviation angle record of the encoder on the bicycle frame so that the rear wheel and a front wheel form a plane. The system is capable of automatically correcting the handlebar and warehousing the bicycle, thereby facilitating the automatic storage and greatly reducing the storage space in the warehousing box.
