Abstract
A car top bicycle carrier in which a bicycle is supported in an upright, fully assembled position. There is a generally V-shaped trough into which the bicycle tires are placed and one or more straps for retaining the tires in the trough. A U-shaped stanchion is provided with a clamping mechanism for clamping the upper part of one of the bicycle wheels so as to retain the bicycle in an upright position and against movement longitudinally of the trough. The clamping mechanism can be adapted to bicycles with relatively large wheels and to bicycles with relatively small wheels.
