ABSTRACT:
A bicycle and ski carrier for attachment to a common trailer type receiver hitch on an automobile. The main member (6) of the carrier contains trays(18) to support bicycles by the top tube of their frame. A ski support (9) holds skis under their rear binding in a vertical position. A hinged, locking lid (13) is used to lock either bicycles or skis against the carrier's main member (6) for security. A horizontal telescoping member (4) which supports the main member (6) allows main member (6) to be raised for additional ground clearance for ski tails and rotate 90 degrees to a position perpendicular to the axis of the automobile.
