The present invention relates to a bicycle lock for blocking of a wheel of a bicycle in a locked state. The bicycle includes a tube assembly including a frame with mutually fixed tube elements and movable tube elements, such as a front stay. The bicycle includes a housing, a bolt for providing a blocking action in a blocking state with which the wheel is blockable, a channel for arranging therein of the bolt, and a latch for, in a latching state of the lock, keeping the latest in the blocking state. The latch in the blocking state is in cooperation with receiving means defining a state of cooperation in which the bolt and the receiving means block the wheel of the bicycle.

A bicycle lock system for inhibiting a bicycle from being stolen includes a bicycle that has a frame and a rear wheel. A locking unit is movably coupled to the frame and the locking unit is positioned adjacent to the rear wheel. The locking unit is positionable in a locked position having the locking unit extending through the rear wheel. In this way the rear wheel is inhibited from rotating thereby inhibiting the bicycle from being stolen. The locking unit is positionable in an unlocked position having the locking unit being displaced from the rear wheel thereby facilitating the rear wheel to freely rotate.

The disclosed apparatus may include a pin that is pushed in between two spokes of a wheel to lock the vehicle and removed from between the spokes of the wheel to unlock the vehicle. In one embodiment, a single-sided lock may include a pin holster for securing the pin while the vehicle is unlocked. In some embodiments, a single-sided lock mechanism may be permanently affixed to and/or built in to a vehicle, increasing the ease of use of the single-sided lock by preventing users from misplacing the lock. In one embodiment, a single-sided lock may include a mechanism for preventing accidental re-locking of a lock that has just been unlocked, further improving the user experience. Various other methods, systems, and apparatuses are also disclosed.

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include a magnetic insertable lock component with a magnet-sensing lock housing. By using a magnet within a pin and a magnetic field sensor within the lock housing, the apparatus may accurately detect the state of the lock. In some embodiments, the apparatus may determine the pin is inserted fully into the lock, the pin is inserted partially into the lock, the pin is not inserted in the lock, and/or that a foreign object that is not the pin is inserted into the lock. By using a magnet within the pin to track the state of the lock, the apparatus may improve both the user experience and the security of the lock. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

The disclosed apparatus may include a rotating locking cable and anchor for a lock for wheeled objects, including wheeled vehicles. A rotating locking cable and anchor may securely fasten a lock and/or a component of a lock, such as a pin, to a wheeled vehicle without impeding a user's ability to lock and unlock the lock. In some embodiments, a rotating locking cable may rotate along multiple axes in order to facilitate easy mobility of a pin between a lock and a pin holster. Various other methods, systems, and apparatuses are also disclosed.

A system for locking the wheel of a motorcycle and hence the motorcycle itself utilizes a locking housing with a back wall, dual sidewalls, and a bottom floor which partially circumscribe a slotted space for receiving the Wheel of a motorcycle. The bottom floor has lateral sections extending outside the sidewalls. A locking base is provided which has rail members extending along the side of the base, the rail members being configured to slidably receive the lateral sections of the bottom floor. Bolts secure the locking housing to the locking base when the system is assembled to receive the front wheel of a motorcycle. An elongated cycle lock is provided to extend through holes in the sidewalls and the motorcycle wheel positioned within the slotted space, to secure the wheel and thus the motorcycle within the locking housing.
