A bicycle locking device comprising:
- a fastening part including an inner fastening member positioned on an inner side surface of a bicycle hub, and an outer fastening member positioned on an outer side surface of the hub and coupled to the inner fastening member;
- a driving part coupled to one side surface of the outer fastening member and including a motor and an outer case;
- and
- a locking part including a pin case, a pin positioned in the pin case, a pin case cover coupled to an upper end of the pin case, and a first spring coupled to the pin case cover and the pin to support the pin to be pitchable with respect to the pin case,
- wherein:
- the locking part is located in the driving part;
- the pin case connected to the motor moves in a frontward direction and thus the pin is inserted into a groove of the outer fastening member to prevent rotation of the hub when the motor is operated by a driving signal applied thereto;
- and
- the pin is easily inserted into the groove of the outer fastening member by an elastic force of the first spring when a bicycle wheel has predetermined rotation.
