ABSTRACT:
An article carrier assembly suitable for detachably mounting a variety of articles to a vehicle such as bicycles, skis, motorcycles and like articles. An upwardly projecting stub shaft is fastened to a horizontally extending mounting surface on the vehicle such as the trailer hitch tongue.

A locking pin prevents the column portion and stub shaft from being separated. A bicycle-supporting carrier member has a cross member supporting a pair of support rods with offset free end portions. A pair of hold-down arms with looped end portions that fit over associated of the offset end portions to be pivotal to and removable from the support rods. The hold-down arms are releasably fastened at ends opposite the offset end portions to hold one or more bicycles to the cross member.
