Abstract
An adjustable bike transport rack is adapted to permit mounting to truck beds of various sizes and includes a cross member with a pair of spaced-apart connectors for securing the cross member to a truck bed. At least one stabilizer arm projects from the cross member for supporting a bike that is positioned in the truck bed during transport. The connectors define a distance therebetween, and the connectors are adjustable relative to one another, such that the distance between the connectors can be varied to permit mounting of the cross member on truck beds of various sizes.
