A toggle joint apparatus between the pair of V-shaped branches holds and grips the hitch ball through the gripping and holding apparatus; the toggle joint apparatus is located at the upper end of the V-shaped branches. The cycle rack attaches to towing hitch balls having differing dimensions, achieving a fitting hold as well as achieving further foldability of the rack. The connecting link apparatus is adapted to enable and adjustable mounting of the cycle rack on the hitch ball. The cycle rack has optionally, at least one of the projecting carrying arm pivotably mounted on one of the V-shaped branches.
