Abstract
A rack for a bicycle is configured out of a single length of resilient wire curved to form a pair of arcuate bails. A wire carrying handle is formed at the center of the wire between the bails, while fasteners are defined at the opposite ends of the bails. The bails are spaced to pass on either side of the center of a spherical ball, such as a basketball, volleyball or soccer ball, and the fasteners are releasably attachable to the handle bars or seat supporting framework of a bicycle.
