ABSTRACT:
A ride-ready bicycle carrier system designed to be removably attached to an existing vehicle roof rack system. The carrier system comprises a support arm assembly attached to a support arm pivot. The support arm assembly has a support arm, an upper hook, a lower hook and a ball lock. One end of the support arm is adapted to receive the upper hook and the other end of the support arm is connected to the support arm pivot. One end of the upper hook is shaped to engage the upper lateral bar of a bicycle frame and the other end of the upper hook is adapted to engage the ball lock and inserts into the ball lock and then into the upper end of the support arm. The ball lock is adapted to receive the upper hook. The ball lock secures the upper hook in a fixed position when the upper hook is engaged to the upper lateral bar of a bicycle frame. The lower hook is attached to the support arm and is adapted to engage either the front fork or rear axle frame support of a bicycle depending on the orientation of the bicycle on the carrier system.
