ABSTRACT:
A carrier support apparatus is provided for attachment to a bicycle frame and connection to auxiliary structures such as baskets, hampers and the like and which comprises a horizontally oriented support rack adapted for mounting on the rear portion of a bicycle frame. The support rack is provided with an integral biased buttress-engaging latch in the forward narrow neck portion thereof, the sides of the rear portion thereof are tapered rearwardly and outwardly so as to form a wide tapered rear support platform. An auxiliary detachable bicycle seat or carrier element is provided which is adapted for selective snap engagement with the support rack. The bottom portion of the bicycle seat or carrier element is provided with a downwardly extending support rack engaging channel portion adapted for selective mating engagement with the tapered portion of the support rack. A downwardly extending buttress element is provided on the bottom portion of the bicycle seat ahead of the channel portion and is adapted to lockably engage the upwardly biased latch provided on the support rack so as to lockably retain the bicycle seat on the support rack with the tapered portion of the support rack in mating locked engagement within the tapered channel portion. Various carrier elements with identical support rack channel structure are useable interchangeably with the seat.
