A collapsible, lightweight bicycle carrier for a vehicle that can be installed and removed easily by one person. When removed from the vehicle, the hollow and capped tube, that serves as the anchor for the front looped straps, is utilized to store the strapping components of the carrier. The capped tube is dimensioned to fit in a standard water bottle carrier supplied with the bicycle. The bicycle is attached to the vehicle using two looped straps dimensioned to fit over the storage tube. The tube is anchored through a vehicle opening. The bicycle is furnished with protective pads that fasten to the bicycle frame and handlebars. The bicycle is inverted and attached to the trailing ends of the looped straps that extend through the gap of the vehicle opening. The posterior of the bicycle is then fastened to the vehicle using two straps with adjusting buckles. A rear support structure may also be secured to the seat post of the bicycle. The rear support structure can be left on the bicycle and doubles as a racking system that the cyclist can use to carry parcels or as a bicycle work stand. The rear support structure can be incrementally adjusted both angularly and longitudinally to provide the proper support to the rear of the bicycle as it is inverted and placed on the rear of the vehicle. The posterior of the bicycle is then fastened to the vehicle using two straps with adjusting buckles.
