Patent attributes
The present invention relates to a device for mounting a bicycle to a surface, such as a truck bed or cement slab, or the like. The device includes at least one base configured for mounting with the surface, and a locking mechanism comprising a hollow enclosure with opposing slots, a biasing mechanism, and opposing locking prongs with finger tabs. The locking prongs are confined to slidable movement along a longitudinal axis of the hollow enclosure and extend outwardly from the hollow enclosure in a first locked position. When the finger tabs are squeezed together to retract the locking prongs into the hollow enclosure, the aperture or slot of the bicycle forks are aligned with the locking tabs. When the finger tabs are released, he biasing mechanism forces the locking prongs to extend outwardly to engage the slots or apertures of the bicycle forks to lock the bicycle with the surface.
