Abstract
And angularly adjustable object support rack or bicycle support rack for a vehicle is constructed with a first rod and a second rod connected by an adjustment structure that enables the first rod and the second rod to be adjusted to a folded over configuration that occupies less space when storing the bicycle rack. The adjustment structure also enables the first rod and second rod to be adjusted to a right angle orientation that reduces the extent the support rack extends from the rear of a vehicle to which it is attached. The adjustment structure enables the first rod and second rod to be adjusted to where the second rod is aligned with the first rod for attaching bicycles on the support rack. The adjustment structure further enables the second rod to be adjusted to a downward tilted orientation providing clearance between the vehicle and the attached support rack.
