Abstract: A bicycle hitch extension unit has a shaft extension portion that removably holds a hitch insert on one end and a receiver hitch on the other end. A bicycle receiver shaft portion is welded to an upper portion of the shaft extension portion and generally centered therein. The bicycle receiver shaft portion removably holds a bicycle rack. The bicycle rack holds bicycles and allows easy access even when a trailer is attached to the receiver hitch. A safety plate is provided as a backup means for securing a safety chain to the end of the extension shaft portion. The shaft extension removably fits with a vehicle hitch.
