What is claimed is: 1. A storage rack for storing a bicycle, said storage rack comprising: at least one bicycle tire receiving channel member comprising an elongated channel having a width and a depth; a channel mounting frame adapted to accommodate a plurality of channel members in a parallel side
What is claimed is: 1. A storage rack for storing a bicycle, said storage rack comprising: at least one bicycle tire receiving channel member comprising an elongated channel having a width and a depth; a channel mounting frame adapted to accommodate a plurality of channel members in a parallel side-by-side arrangement, holding means for holding a wheel of said bicycle to said channel at any of a plurality of positions along the length of said channel; a wheel embracing ramp having one end rotatably attached to one end of said channel; and a hinge arrangement for rotatably coupling said ramp to said channel, comprising an elongated slot formed at one corner on either side of the ramp, a pair of generally L-shaped slotted members affixed to an end of the channel, and an elongated hinge pin extending through and joining the respective slots and slotted members; wherein said hinge arrangement permits both rotational and translational movement of said ramp with respect to said channel. 2. A storage rack according to claim 1, further including wheel height adjustment means for holding a wheel of said bicycle at any of a plurality of heights relative to said channel depth. 3. A storage rack according to claim 1, said channel further including lock receiving means for mounting a lock for securing a wheel of said bicycle at any of a plurality of positions along the length of said channel. 4. A storage rack according to claim 1, wherein said ramp is rotatable between a first position extending generally axially outwardly from said end of said channel and a second position extending generally at a right angle upwardly from said channel. 5. A storage rack according to claim 4, wherein said wheel embracing ramp is further rotatable between said second position and a third position generally parallel to said channel and about 180 degrees rotated from said first position. 6. A storage rack according to claim 1, wherein said frame mounts two side-by-side channels, one of said channels being substantially horizontal and the other of said channels being inclined at an angle. 7. A storage rack according to claim 1, wherein said frame has an upper level and a lower level, and wherein each of said upper and said lower level mounts two side-by-side channels, one of said channels being substantially horizontal and the other of said channels being inclined at an angle. 8. A storage rack according to claim 7, wherein said upper level of said frame includes a front crossbar and a rear crossbar, said rear crossbar being attached to a rear end of each of said channels, and being shaped with a plurality of spaced, and downwardly depending, U-shaped portions, each for complementarily receiving said rear end of one of said channels. 9. A storage rack according to claim 7, wherein each of said upper and said lower level mounts more than two side-by-side channels, alternating adjacent ones of said channels being substantially horizontal and inclined at an angle, respectively. 10. A storage rack according to claim 1, and further including an elongated locking arm assembly pivotally mounted to said frame adjacent a front end of at least one of said channels and having a first engagement portion for engaging and holding a front wheel of a bicycle received in said channel and a second engagement portion at a distal end of said locking arm assembly for receiving and aligning a bicycle lock for engagement with a rear wheel of said bicycle received in said channel. 11. A storage rack according to claim 10, wherein said second engagement portion is configured for receiving said bicycle lock for holding said rear wheel of said bicycle at any one of a plurality of positions along the length of said channel. 12. A storage rack according to claim 1, wherein said channel comprises an elongated trough-like member having a proximal end and a distal end, bottom surface and a pair of opposing side surfaces extending upwardly from said bottom surface and extending substantially in tire length thereof, and wherein said holding means comprises a plurality of pairs of spaced apart aligned through apertures in the respective sides of said trough and extending generally from said distal end thereof, and at least one pin receivable through a selected pair of said through apertures for engaging one wheel of said bicycle. 13. A storage rack according to claim 12, wherein said holding means comprises a second plurality of pairs of spaced apart aligned through apertures in the respective sides of said trough and extending generally from said proximal end thereof, and at least one pin receivable through a selected pair of said through apertures for engaging a second wheel of said bicycle. 14. A storage rack according to claim 2, wherein said channel comprises an elongated trough-like member having a proximal end and a distal end, bottom surface and a pair of opposing side surfaces extending upwardly from said bottom surface and extending substantially in tire length thereof, and wherein said wheel height adjustment means comprises a plurality of pairs of spaced apart aligned through apertures in the respective sides of said trough and extending generally from said distal end thereof, and at least one pin receivable through a selected pair of said through apertures for engaging one wheel of said bicycle. 15. A storage rack according to claim 14, said wheel height adjustment means comprises a second plurality of pairs of spaced apart aligned through apertures in the respective sides of said trough and extending generally from said proximal end thereof, and at least one pin receivable through a selected pair of said through apertures for engaging one wheel of said bicycle. 16. A storage rack according to claim 3, wherein said channel comprises an elongated trough-like member having a proximal end and a distal end, bottom surface and a pair of opposing side surfaces extending upwardly from said bottom surface and extending substantially in tire length thereof, and wherein said lock receiving means comprises a plurality of pairs of spaced apart aligned through apertures in the respective sides of said trough and sized for receiving one arm of a generally U-shaped bicycle lock therethrough, and positioned for permitting engagement of a second arm of said bicycle lock with the wheel of a bicycle at any one of a plurality of position this along the length of said channel. 17. A storage rack according to claim 4, wherein said ramp is constructed of a plurality of interconnected generally cylindrical rods, said rods including a pair of parallel spaced apart, and generally straight elongated rod members in the length of between about 1½ feet and about 2 feet, and spaced apart by about the same spacing as the opposite walls of said channel; a pair of generally parallel curved elongated rods extending over a linear distance about equal to the length of said straight rods, and a plurality of generally U-shaped rod members interconnecting said straight rod members and said curved rod members. 18. A storage rack according to claim 1, wherein each said channel comprises an elongated trough-like member having a proximal end and a distal end, a bottom surface and a pair of opposing side surfaces extending upwardly from said bottom surface and extending substantially entire length thereof, and wherein the side surfaces include upper surfaces, which are parallel and spaced apart, and lower surfaces, which are angled inwardly between the upper surfaces and the bottom surface. 19. A storage rack according to claim 17, and further including an elongated locking arm pivotally mounted to the frame adjacent a front end of at least one of the channels, said locking arm having a first engagement portion for engaging and holding a front wheel of a bicycle received in the channel and a second engagement portion at its opposite end for receiving and aligning a bicycle lock for engagement with a front or rear wheel or a frame of a bicycle received in the channel. 20. A storage rack according to claim 1, further comprising: a locking arm-receiving channel formed between said frame and at least one upright; and an elongated locking arm having a generally U-shaped end portion for rotatably engaging said locking arm-receiving channel at one end of said locking arm, said locking arm further having a first engagement portion for engaging and holding a front wheel of a bicycle received in the channel and a second engagement portion at its opposite end for receiving and aligning a bicycle lock for engagement with a rear wheel of said bicycle.
