ABSTRACT:
A bicycle carrier is mounted to a vehicle having a receiver type hitch. The bicycle carrier includes an upright support having a rectangular collar fixed to its lower end and a bicycle carrier assembly at its upper end. The collar is sized to slide on a conventional rectangular receiver insert which is then mounted to the receiver supported by the vehicle. The collar is secured in place by a bolt which passes through the lower surface of the collar near the back edge of the collar to engage the receiver insert. The positioning of the bolt counteracts front to rear vibration of the upright support. The cargo carrier can be used while the receiver hitch is used for towing. The bicycle carrier includes a horizontal bar, rotatably mounted to the upper end of the upright support, having radially extending arms. The horizontal bar is positioned so the arms extend horizontally when in use and so the arms extend vertically, and out of the way, when not in use.
