ABSTRACT:
A bicycle carrier mounted at the rear end of a vehicle for transporting from one to four bicycles having demountable front wheels. The carrier includes a lower rack rearwardly of the vehicle and an upper rack supported by the lower rack above the rear trunk of the vehicle. Each rack includes an elongated horizontally mounted frame extended transversely of and within the transverse confines of the vehicle. Mounted on each frame associated with each bicycle to be carried thereon is an upwardly facing trough or channel member for receiving and supporting the rear wheel of a bicycle. In linear alignment with the channel member, a fork stanchion is mounted on the frame for supporting the front wheel fork of the bicycle. The front wheel is supported on a wheel stanchion which is mounted on the frame beside the front wheel fork stanchion. A retaining arm assembly on the frame yieldably urges the rear wheel into the channel member when the front wheel fork is locked on the fork stanchion. Bicycles transported on the carrier are positioned in a side-by-side relation and are located within the transverse confines of the vehicle.
