ABSTRACT:
A modular bicycle rack system is useful with a vehicle that has a pair of rooftop transverse load bars that are spaced along the length of the vehicle. The rack system includes a base that is connected with the transverse load bars, and which may be one or more rail members, a slide connected in sliding engagement with the base to slide between a forward and a rearward position, a frame that is pivotally connected with the slide to pivot between an upper and a lower position, and which may be a channel member, and a clamp that connects between the base and the frame. A hanger releasably locks onto the frame to hang a bicycle on the frame when the frame is in the lower position. Alternatively, a cargo box may be coupled with the frame for convenient access to the cargo box.
