A modular bicycle locking stand that provides secure parking of bicycles thereon. This bicycle stand, in its preferred embodiment, is comprised of an upper toroidal member that is securely fastened to a lower semi-toroidal member that is, in turn, securely fastened to two shoes used to firmly anchor the bicycle stand to the ground in an urban setting. The bicycle locking stand thus becomes immobile. The bicycle stand can be used stand-alone or in combination as a plurality of such bicycle stands so as to provide a bicycle parking station in an urban or other setting. A plurality of these bicycle stands can also be used to protect a tree from damage due to parked bicycles by surrounding the tree with a sufficient number of modules to prevent bicycles from leaning against or being attached to the tree. This permits a number of bicycles to be parked in the vicinity of urban planted trees.
