ABSTRACT:
Bicycle carriers for buses and the like which include a locking device for each bicycle so as to allow the loading and removal of bicycles by passengers without requiring the attention of the bus driver. The bicycle carriers are provided with a quick disconnect mechanism for ease in fastening and removal from the bus, in spite of bus to bus variations, and may include retractable wheels in the form of casters providing for easy movement of the carrier when taken off the bus. Each bicycle support is disposed and configured so as to quickly guide a bicycle into the proper carrying position and to require minimum time and physical agility for loading and unloading. An additional pair of tail lights are provided on the carrier frame to avoid the effects of any partial obscuring of the tail lights on the vehicle. Various embodiments are disclosed, including embodiments utilizing coin operated and other locking devices.
