Abstract
A vehicle-top carrier for bicycles which allows bicycles to be attached alongside the vehicle, then pivoted up to its top. A base is attached to the vehicle. A rack pivots from the base about a generally horizontal axis, between a vehicle-top carrying position and a loading position extending horizontally outward from the vehicle. A bicycle can be attached to the underside of the extended rack and pivoted to the vehicle top for transport.
