ABSTRACT:
An elegantly simple bicycle storage rack that can be mounted or demounted quickly and easily from the cargo area of pick-up trucks. The rack is comprised of a lower tubular base and an upper tubular member joined by a plurality of upright posts spaced by slots for bicycle wheels. The lower tubular base fits comfortably in the foremost corner of the cargo area of the pick-up truck. The upper tubular member is secured to the sides of the pick-up truck with straps, cords or wires. A bicycle is held securely in the rack by a c-shaped hook or clamp that fits around the steering neck, frame of bicycle frame mounting and is secured with a specially designed locknut. No additional, straps, nuts, locks or other devices are needed to securely hold the bicycle in the rack. The bicycle storage rack is also constructed to be easily mounted on a surface platform when not in use in the back of a pick-up truck.
