Abstract: A modular bicycle carrier is configured to support one or more bicycles for transport by a vehicle such as a bus. The carrier includes a frame and at least one bike mount, the bike mount detachably connected to the frame so that it may be removed. The frame includes mounts configured to permit the carrier to be moved between a raised, stowed position and a lowered, use position. In one embodiment, each bike mount is supported by a support which is connected to the frame by a fastener. Another embodiment of the invention is a method of repairing a prior art bicycle rack by severing support tubes of a bicycle to disconnect the mount and sliding supports of a new mount over severed portions of the original supports.
