ABSTRACT:
An improved bicycle rack which is affixed to a square trailer hitch channel affixed to the rear of a motor vehicle. The bicycle rack has a channel for holding the bicycle rear wheel and a pair of threaded studs for holding the front fork of the bicycle. A pair of yokes hold the bicycle front wheel and the assembly is supported on a support bar which has a clamp assembly thereon. The trailer hitch has a square supported channel, removably held to the hitch channel affixed to the rear of the automobile. At least one clamp assembly is affixed to the support bar and one or more support bars with associated bicycle holding assemblies may be affixed to the square supported channel of the trailer hitch wherein up to four bicycles can be held at one time on the rack. The number may be reduced as desired so that there is no unnecessary weight or drag caused by an empty bicycle support assembly.
