Bicycle shelter assembly
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to shelter assemblies for bicycles that can be custom designed in a variety of configurations using a relatively small number of modular, easily assembled components. The shelter assembly comprises at least first and second uprights, a crossbar bridging the first and second uprights, and a plurality of roof panels secured to the crossbar. Each roof panel is constructed from a shielding element and one or more rafter elements, which allows each roof panel to be independently rotatable to a plurality of different angles. By securing the roof panels to the crossbar, and in some embodiments the uprights, in a desired configuration, one may prepare a shelter assembly that is custom designed for a particular installation location.

TRANSITION AREA BICYCLE RACK
A bicycle rack for use in providing temporary parking for a large number of bicycles, comprising a rail and a plurality of tire trays evenly spaced, along said rail and pivotal in motion from a parallel position to said rail to a depioyed position, substantially perpendicular to said rail, each said tire tray including a recessed wheel bed for seating a wheel of a bicycle therein. The wheel beds are adjustable to accommodate bicycles with tires of various widths. The tire trays have channels for holding printed signs. The rack is compact, modular, and stable. The rack breaks down for easy transport and storage and facilitates both, the rapid setup and breakdown of an orderly temporary parking area for a large number of bicycles. The rack is well suited for multisport races where an orderly transition area significantly enhances the profile of the event.
MICROMOBILITY TRANSIT VEHICLE BATTERY CONNECTION AND LOCK SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods associated with a micromobility transit vehicle battery connection and lock. In accordance with one or more embodiments, a micromobility transit vehicle is provided. The micromobility transit vehicle may include a frame, a battery configured to be received at least partially within the frame, and a battery lock within the frame. The frame may include a downtube having a recess disposed therein. The battery may be configured to be received within the downtube and the recess to establish a continuous surface comprising one or more outer surfaces of the downtube and one or more outer surfaces of the battery. The battery lock may be positioned within the recess and configured to engage the battery to lock the battery in place.

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods associated with locking a micromobility transit vehicle to a stationary object. A multimodal transportation system may include a docking station including a securement point, and a micromobility transit vehicle securable to the securement point of the docking station. The micromobility transit vehicle may include a storage basket and a lock cable including a first end coupled to the storage basket and a second end. The second end of the lock cable may be securable to the securement point of the docking station to lock the micromobility transit vehicle to the docking station. The storage basket may include a pin lock. The pin lock may engage a locking pin of the lock cable to lock the micromobility transit vehicle via the lock cable.
DOCKING STATION FOR MICROMOBILITY TRANSIT VEHICLES
A docking station for micromobility transit vehicles is provided. The docking station may include a rack configured to dock a micromobility transit vehicle, a bollard for securing the micromobility transit vehicle within the rack, and a dock module configured to detect a characteristic of a lock cable securing the micromobility transit vehicle to the bollard. The dock module may include an inductive coil assembly disposed around a hole of the bollard to detect the lock cable inserted into the hole.
Bicycle rack
A bicycle rack includes a frame body, compartment bars, hose sleeves and a hanging shelf. The frame body includes two side frames, an upper frame bar and a lower frame bar which are connected between the two side frames. The compartment bars are movably disposed between the upper frame bar and the lower frame bar, and arranged in interval. The hose sleeves are movably mounted on the compartment bars, respectively. The hanging shelf is disposed on one of the two side frames. Each compartment bar can be movably disassembled to adjust an interval between the adjacent two compartment bars; each compartment bar is mounted with a hose sleeve, and even if a wheel width of a bicycle is slightly lower than the interval between the adjacent two compartment bars, the bicycle can be prevented from shaking when being tightened by the hose sleeves.

Locking Wheel Chock
A wheel chock assembly to secure a wheel of a motorcycle and/or bicycle by encasing the wheel and secured by a lockable lock pin. The wheel chock assembly can be used with one of the various mounting assemblies and with the frame securement collar assembly. The wheel chock assembly when mounted on one of the various mounting assemblies can be used to secure a motorcycle and/or bicycle on the bed of a truck or on the bed wall of a truck, trailer floor, trailer wall or trailer railing and even in a garage on the floor or wall. The securement collar assembly is used either around the steering column and frame attaching to the wheel chock assembly's lock pin for securement or between the rear tire and the frame attaching to the wheel chock assembly's lock pin for securement.
