ABSTRACT:
A bicycle rack for supporting bicycles in an upward standing position at the back end of a vehicle with the bicycles standing in a substantially vertical position angled horizontally at the back end of the vehicle. The trailer hitch sleeve mounted bicycle rack supports bicycles, each in an upward standing position on a center support post. The bicycle rack includes a base member (22) of which the tongue portion (23) slides into a trailer hitch sleeve (11). An adjustable sliding member (21) slides onto the base member (22). A vertical support post (20) is affixed to the sliding member (22). A series of horizontal trays (31) angled from the base of the vertical support post (20), and a series of bicycle front fork mounts (32) at the top of the vertical support post (20). The horizontal trays (31) receive a portion of the rear wheel of a bicycle so as to cradle the wheel and support the bicycle. Bicycles stand upwardly from the rear wheel support trays (31) angled from the base of the vertical support post (20) at the rear of the vehicle (12).
