Publication number: 20180361944Abstract: A bicycle rack is attached to a pickup truck having a plurality of receptacles in sidewalls of a truck box spaced above a truck bed. The bicycle rack comprises a bicycle receiver attached to a set of arms. A pair of connectors are attached to the arms to detachably assemble the arms to the receptacles with the arms and the receiver being held in a position spaced from the bed. A method is disclosed for transporting a bicycle with a pickup truck by providing connectors attached to the arms that are detachably assembled to the receptacles by sliding the connectors downwardly relative to the receptacles. The bicycle and bicycle rack do not require support from the truck bed and do not obstruct the truck bed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2017Publication date: December 20, 2018Inventors: Jack MARCHLEWSKI, Joshua Robert HEMPHILL, Robert REINERS, Dragan B.
