ABSTRACT:
A bumper attached bicycle carrier including a carrier frame having generally upright rack legs and bicycle engaging arms extending rearwardly from the frame for engaging and supporting a bicycle in a generally upright condition. A bumper engaging foot assembly is mounted on each rack leg and each foot assembly includes a generally V-shaped pivot bracket pivotally mounted at its apex on the rack leg at locations spaced above the lower end of the rack leg, and upper and lower bumper engaging feet pivotally mounted on each pivot bracket for pivotal movement about foot pivot axes parallel to and spaced laterally from the bracket pivot axis. Each foot member has a resilient bumper engaging face and the foot members are adapted to pivot relative to the associated bracket to conform to the contour of bumpers of widely different shape. Lower flexible anchors are adjustably attached to the lower ends of the rack legs and upper flexible straps are attached to the carrier frame above the pivot axis to draw the legs to a generally upright condition while pressing the foot assemblies against the rear side of the bumper.
