ABSTRACT:
A compact carrier for transporting bicycles or lightweight motorcycles on the rear or front bumper of a vehicle, which consists primarily of a set of straps with buckles holding the bicycle or motorcycle under tension while being supported by and resting on the bumper. One embodiment of the carrier utilizes a single strap, secured to an automobile at one end to the trunk or hood and the other end to the bumper by L-shaped buckles. The body of the bicycle is secured in the desired position by a loop on the main strap which wraps around the bicycle crossbar. This strap is adjustable to fit almost any size bicycle by a buckle in the middle thereof. A second embodiment of bicycle carrier uses a pair of V-straps secured by L-shaped buckles to either the trunk or hood and to the bumper which extend in an open V-shape to attach to the handle bar stem and the seat post of the bicycle. Another third embodiment provides in combination a telescoping rod and straps to hold the bicycle body in place. For use in combination with these carriers, loops and extruded pieces are provided to keep the bicycle tires in place on the vehicle bumpers.
