Abstract: Each skate is strapped down upon a skate carrier, in turn mounted upon any pre-existing or conventional article carrying bicycle rack. Stop elements, along with the skate carrier strap, prevent escape of the skate from the carrier, particularly while a mountain bike is being driven over rough terrain. Vertical positioning of the stop elements, which can be threaded bolts, is adjustable to secure various skate wheel sizes of child and adult skates. Positioning of the threaded bolts is rapidly changed by loosening and tightening a wing nut on the bolt thread while a square bolt head portion within a square orifice prevents rotary slippage of the bolt, and thus no tools such as a wrench or screwdriver are needed. A cylindrical sleeve can surround the bolt, enabling the use of lighter skate carrier metal stock. A non-slip rubber mat can be placed between the skate carrier and the bike rack to prevent detrimental shifting of the skate carrier.
