Abstract: A bicycle rack assembly for carrying up to four bicycles comprising a fork support with a simulated wheel axle attached to a tubular bar having four legs. The rack is specifically designed to be utilized on vans or similar vehicles. The assembly is secured to the rear of a van by an upper pair of adjustable straps attached to the lip or edge of the van door or hatch and a lower pair of adjustable straps which are attached to either the lower edge of the door or the bumper. To use, the front wheel of the bicycle is removed; and its front fork is attached to the simulated wheel axle. The bicycle is held vertically with its rear wheel resting against the rear bumper of the van. In this position, the bicycle is out of the air stream of the vehicle. Moreover, since the rear wheel is close to the ground, the bicycle can be easily mounted on the rack or removed from it. For additional security, a safety strap is also provided to be fitted around each bicycle and attached to the rack.
