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.

An anti-theft device for a bicycle includes a fork unit that has a first fork bar and a second fork bar. The first fork bar has a passage and the second fork bar has a receiving opening. A securing element can be arranged in the fork unit to pass through the first fork bar in the passage and engage in the receiving opening. The securing element passes through a spoke region of a front wheel of the bicycle. The securing element has an engagement contour that engages in the receiving opening. A locking unit with an electromechanical drive is arranged in the second fork bar. The locking unit has a locking contour, which is connected the electromechanical drive and engages in the engagement contour in the locking state. An electronic control unit controls the electromechanical drive to unlock the unit.

An apparatus with a bicycle frame and rear wheel locking system working around a bicycle parking slot or rack is provided. The apparatus may include a container assembly, a block, an arm base, and adjustable arms to support locking for a limited range of bicycles by size. It may be mounted relatively permanently onto a strong flat surface and/or a bicycle slot or rack. It may allow one to lock both wheels and the frame of their bicycle by just carrying their smartphone or registered card.

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.
