bicycle_parking safe_loops nodearea A modern, improved variation of both wall_loops and safe_gutter racks that provides a way to lock the front wheel as well as the frame to the stands with a chain.

Fits every usual tyre/rim width (race, citybike, MTB) without wheel bending; easy to affix both front wheel and frame with a single chain. Offers fair stability and proper safety.

Also shown: a variation where the front wheel is secured in a fork. On one of the supports there is an eyelet to lock the frame.

Typical 'safe_loops' type stands in the Netherlands.'safe_loops' variation.
bicycle_parking safe_gutter nodearea Holds the bicycle upright by means of a curved 'gutter' for the front wheel, and provides a loop for attaching cable locks. Security is moderate to good, as usually both front wheel and frame can be locked to the stands. Not so great for bicycles with very wide (won't fit) or very thin (won't stay upright) tyres. Typical 'safe gutter' type stands in the Netherlands.
bicycle_parking fixed_frame_post nodearea Post with (typically) brackets for affixing a bicycle on both sides of the post. The bracket is slanted to match the bar of the frame just below the seat post. Bicycles can usually be locked to the post either by locking the bracket with a padlock or by using the eyelet with a chain. Frame fixing post with lockable bracket and eyelet for chain.
