Abstract: A wheel cradle (100) for bicycles that can be quickly and easily adjusted to accommodate bicycle tires of varying width. The wheel cradle (100) includes a first side panel (140) and a second side panel (140), each attached to a base (110), each oriented substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis, and each extending substantially vertically. An adjustment device (150) is configured to variably adjust the first side panel (140) and/or the second side panel (140) in a direction substantially parallel to the transverse axis to seat the bicycle wheel. The wheel cradle (100) is especially well-suited for combined use in a rack to park multiple bicycles, the rack easily breaking down for compact transport and storage.

Abstract: 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.
