Claim 0:
1. A device for mounting a bicycle to a surface, the bicycle of the type having front forks each having an axle slot or aperture, the device comprising:
at least one base having a bottom side, a top side, and at least one peripheral edge, the at least one base having at least one mounting aperture therethrough;
a locking mechanism comprising a hollow enclosure having a pair of opposing slots formed therethrough, at least one biasing mechanism, a pair of opposing locking prongs, each locking prong having a laterally-extending finger tab, each finger tab traversing one of the opposing slots, each locking prong confined to slidable movement along a longitudinal axis of the hollow enclosure, and in a first locked position the locking prongs extending outwardly away from ends of the hollow enclosure, and when the finger tabs are squeezed together to overcome the biasing mechanism, the locking prongs slidably retracting within the hollow enclosure in an unlocked position; and
a riser fixed with a top side of the at least one base and a lower side of the hollow enclosure;
whereby with the at least one base fixed with the surface, 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 prongs and the finger tabs are released, the biasing mechanism forcing the locking prongs to extend outwardly from the hollow enclosure to engage the slots or apertures of the bicycle forks to lock the bicycle with the surface.
