  • Publication number: 20080023510
    Abstract: Sectional bicycle rack for carrying a bicycle in the bed of a vehicle, having adjustable length horizontal cross member bars at the top and base which when extended form a pressure clamp to the side walls of the vehicle bed for an easy and non-intrusive installation. The number of bicycles to be carried is adjusted by adding additional rack sections. Additionally, support brackets can be used to bolt the top cross member to the vehicle bed for permanent installation, added support or security.
