Abstract:
1. A multiple-level storing system for bicycles comprising: A framework attached to a floor, the framework including a vertical support and a horizontal mounting frame defining a lower storing space for a lower bicycle and an upper storing space for an upper bicycle, whereby the lower storing space includes a lower receiver to hold the lower bicycle and the upper storing space includes an upper receiver to hold the upper bicycle, the upper receiver having a distal end and a proximal end and a U-shaped bicycle wheel channel or groove along the entire length of the top surface of the upper receiver, wherein the upper receiver is pivotally attached at a pivot point to the horizontal mounting frame to enable the upper receiver to tilt from a horizontal position to a loading and unloading position, whereby the proximal end of the upper receiver is located near the floor when pivoted into the loading and unloading position, the upper receiver pivots up from the loading and unloading position into a generally horizontal storage position, wherein the upper receiver is longitudinally movable along the pivot point on the horizontal mounting frame wherein the proximal end of the upper receiver is drawn toward the user and away from the mounting frame to better reach the floor for loading and unloading and the upper receiver is slid back along the mounting frame upon the conclusion of loading and unloading, wherein an enclosure surrounds the bicycles in both the lower and upper storing space, an upper floor separates the lower storing space from the upper storing space, and each storing space including a lockable door, wherein the pivot point, upper receiver and any bicycles are located inside the enclosure enabling both doors to close and conceal the bicycles.
