Abstract:
1. A support for a bicycle having at least one wheel, comprising: a pair of base members adapted for engagement with a supporting surface, wherein the base members are spaced apart from each other in an axial direction; first and second support members configured to extend upwardly from the base members, wherein the support members define facing engagement surfaces that extend in the axial direction and are spaced apart from each other in a lateral direction, transverse to the axial direction, wherein the facing engagement surfaces of the support members cooperate to define an open wheel-receiving space therebetween; and an adjustable engagement arrangement interposed between at least the first support members and each of the base members, wherein the adjustable engagement arrangement is configured to provide adjustment in the position of the first support member relative to the second support member in the lateral direction to vary the width of the open wheel-receiving space between the first and second support members for accommodating bicycle wheels of different widths, while maintaining the first and second support members apart from each other to maintain the wheel-receiving space open, wherein the adjustable engagement arrangement is configured to selectively maintain the width of the open wheel-receiving space during movement of the bicycle wheel into and out of the open wheel-receiving space.
