Abrégé

The invention disclosed is a bicycle carrying rack to mount to a vehicle. The rack has first mounting portion to connect to a load carrier of the vehicle, and a fork mounting portion including a fork receiving portion. The fork mounting portion is rotationally mounted about a first axis from the first mounting portion. The fork receiving portion receives and locks to a fork of the bicycle. The fork mounting portion has, a first position adapted to locate the bicycle in a substantially vertical position, with the fork aligned in a substantially straight ahead position relative a major plane of the bicycle, and a second position adapted to locate the bicycle, in or toward a horizontal position, with the fork aligned at an angle turned away from the substantially straight ahead position. During the movement from the first position to the second position the fork receiving portion rotates about a second axis to rotate the fork away from the substantially straight ahead position, and vice versa when rotated from the second position to the first position. There is also at least one lock to lock the bicycle at least in the first position, so that a bicycle can be carried in either said first position or said second position.
