ABSTRACT:
A carrier for mounting on the rear body portion of a vehicle including a frame having front and rear pairs of legs interconnected at their upper ends and with their distal ends spaced apart to engage the rear body portion of a vehicle at spaced locations. A rear vehicle engaging foot assembly is provided on each of the rear legs and includes a U-shaped bracket member pivotally mounted intermediate its ends to the distal end of the rear leg, and a pair of foot members pivotally mounted at the ends of the bracket member to enable the foot members to conform to different vehicle contours including convex and concave surfaces, independent of the angular position of the rear leg relative to the body surface. The carrier is provided with bicycle support arms and a lever is pivotally mounted on the outer end of one of the arms and arranged to be locked to the arm by a padlock to inhibit theft of the bicycles.
