A bicycle rack system to hold a bicycle including a structural member, a swing arm and a plurality of wheel cradles. The swing arm is pivotally coupled to the structural member. The plurality of wheel cradles each have a shape to accommodate a shape of a wheel of the bicycle, and include a first wheel cradle and a second wheel cradle. The first wheel cradle is secured to a distal end of the swing arm, and the second wheel cradle is coupled to the structural member.

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.

An equipment rack is described with an integrated lighting system. The integrated lighting system may connect to the vehicle's electrical system to provide tail light, brake light, hazard, reverse light, and turn signal functions. The lighting system may include an automatic connection for lighting attached to a rack extension when the rack extension is attached to a base rack. The lighting may also be visible on a pivoting rack when the rack is stowed or in use to carry bicycles. The lighting elements may be disposed on or inside the equipment rack and may be provided with internal wiring to connect the lights to the vehicle's electrical system.

An intelligent exercise bike includes a frame, and a front wheel and a rear motor wheel, wherein the frame is provided with a pedal motor electrically connected with the pedal, and the output shaft of the pedal motor is drivingly connected with the pedal; the pedal motor has a torque sensor and a Hall sensor that are electrically connected thereto for detecting the speed and force of the pedal; a bike controller is provided in the frame, and the torque sensor and the Hall sensor convert the detected pedal speed and force into transmission signals, and output them to the bike controller; the bike controller is connected to a power supply circuit of the rear motor wheel, and the bike controller outputs a control signal to adjust the output power value of the rear motor wheel after receiving the transmission signals.

A bicycle mounting device for storing and transporting a bicycle in a horizontal or vertical orientation. The mounting device includes a frame formed by a pair of longitudinal members and a first and second lateral member each affixed at opposing ends thereof. A sliding bicycle support is operably connected to the pair of longitudinal members and can receive the bicycle in a horizontal orientation. In some embodiments, the first end of the frame is raised relative to the second end thereof. In use, the device is placed in a trunk of a vehicle and the horizontally oriented bicycle is placed on the sliding support. The bicycle can then be pushed into the trunk by the sliding support moving from the first to the second end of the frame. The pair of longitudinal members form a gap to receive a tire of the bicycle when stored in the vertical orientation.
