A roof-top cargo basket and integrated bicycle carrier system includes a basket configured to hold cargo that is mountable to cross-bars of a vehicle's roof rack system. Load carrier bars are mounted at a top of the basket and extend laterally outboard of the basket for positioning carried bicycles outside of an interior space of said basket. In addition, handles are formed on support members for the load carrier bars to accommodate inspection, loading and unloading of the basket's interior space. For retaining objects within the interior space of the basket, a squeeze bar is disposed at or near an end portion of the basket. The load carrier bars are configured to receive a rooftop bicycle carrier for attachment thereto at locations laterally outside the interior space of the basket.
