ABSTRACT:
A bicycle rack is constructed of steel and includes a base formed by a pair of parallel rails laterally spaced from each other and joined by a laterally extending connecting link. A pair of elongated stanchions extends upwardly from the rails to converge together at an apex which is at a height greater than the length of a bicycle. The upper extremities of the stanchions are joined together by gusset plates and either one or two hooks extend transversely outwardly from the gusset plates vertically above the base. A bicycle is suspended from one or both of the hooks by one of its wheels, so that the wheels of the bicycle are disposed one above another with the weight of the bicycle acting downwardly vertically above the base.
