Question: How to lock your bike to a bike stand.
Options:
Locate a free spot in the bike stand and place your bike wheel in it, either front or back, whichever is more convenient.  Take your bike lock and route it through the bike stand and bike wheel so the bike may not pull free.  Secure the lock together without spinning the number combination.
