Notes for a bike stand - apparently for ways to fix it!

using anchor bolts
Explanation:
Since it looks like two ways to secure the bike stand, either using concrete to secure it to the ground or Aufduebeln, I would say a person would want to secure it with anchor bolts. The word Wanddübel is a plug or anchor sunk into the wall (or floor) into which bolts or screws are entered to secure something.
