A transport rack is shown for mounting a tandem bicycle on the rear of a vehicle. A junction bar is provided which engages the trailer hitch of the vehicle and is used to mount a cross bar on the vehicle. The cross bar supports the bicycle for transportation by having a fixed bicycle fork support yoke at one extent thereof and having both a slidably adjustable support yoke and slidably adjustable tire well at an opposite extent thereof. Wheel carriers located on the cross arm receive either one or both of the bicycle wheels when the wheels are removed for transport. A pivot mechanism connects the cross bar and junction bar and can be used to pivot the cross bar between an upright position, used for transport, in which the bicycle frame is generally perpendicular to a surrounding support surface and an extended position used for accessing to the vehicle's rear doors.
