ABSTRACT:
A bicycle carrier mounted on a vehicle spare tire mounted in a vertical plane. The carrier includes a rail positioned alongside the spare tire and a U-bolt positioned on the opposite side of the spare tire with the ends extending across the tire and extending through the rail to form a rectangular opening which receives the spare tire. An upright standard, affixed to the rail, extends upwardly to support a beam parallel with the rail. A pair of horizontal spring loaded arms pivot with respect to the beam between an operative position, wherein the arms are normal to the beam, and an inoperative position, where the arms overlie the beam. One of the arms is fitted with a double link pivoting in a vertical plane and having a free end for receiving a padlock when the link is pivoted to overlie the bicycle frame and straddle the arm. A padlock inserted through the link free end captures the bicycle frame between the arm and the link. The standard is adjustably positionable along the rail, and the beam is adjustably positionable with respect to the standard, to accommodate spare tires mounted offset from the center of the vehicle.
