ABSTRACT:
A bicycle support rack is mountable on a space tire externally supported on a vehicle. The rack includes a frame which has an opening through which only a portion of the tire can pass so that the frame can be placed over the top of the tire and positioned to embrace the tire. A support plate extends horizontally from the frame and includes troughs to receive the horizontal bars of one or more bicycles. A retaining bar extends across the support plate above the horizontal bars of the bicycles and extends into the central portion of the wheel on which the tire is mounted. The retaining bar is held in place by a lock which encircles a horizontal bar of at least one of the bicycles. The retaining bar can be removed from its locking position and threadedly inserted into a hole in the support plate with a swivel attachment to provide a working support for bicycle maintenance.
