Abstract
A light weight, automatic release, variably adjustable bicycle stabilizer is disclosed. The invention is comprised of five main parts: a first part being an adjustable, pivoting, slightly flexible u-shaped fork that stabilizes the wheel; a second part being an anchor bracket; a third part being a down tube stabilizer; a fourth part being a compression band; and a fifth part being an onboard, LED, safety light. The invention is selectively affixed to the underside of a bicycle frame. The anchor is disposed on the down tube and the slightly flexible u-shaped fork wheel stabilizer swings out from said anchor and grabs the front wheel preventing the wheel from turning and tipping the bike over. The end of each fork is wider on the inside. This stops the bicycle from rolling backward when parked on an incline.

A bicycle stand including:
- a u-shaped wheel stabilizer;
- an anchor bracket configured to be connected to a down tube of a bicycle;
- a compression band;
- an onboard LED light;
- wherein the compression band serves to provide connection between the anchor bracket and the down tube;
- the wheel stabilizer may be pivoted relative to the anchor bracket between:
- (i) an engaged position wherein the wheel stabilizer is configured to be engaged with a wheel of a bicycle;
- and (ii) a retracted position wherein the wheel stabilizer is disengaged from the wheel;
- wherein, in the engaged position, the bicycle stand serves to restrict movement of the wheel relative to the down tube;
- and
- wherein, in the retracted position, the restriction of movement of the wheel by the bicycle stand is removed.
The bicycle stand of claim wherein the wheel stabilizer is pivotally connected to the anchor bracket.
