Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward combination of 'bicycle' + 'parking' + 'rack' meaning a rack used for parking bicycles; the overall sense is directly derivable from the constituent meanings.

Etymology
The compound bicycle parking rack is very simple and literal: a rack is a metal frame that holds things, parking means leaving something for a while, and bicycle is the bike, so the picture is a frame where you leave and lock your bike. That's why the phrase means 'a frame for parking and locking bicycles'.
