A new and improved mobile bicycle workstand or support apparatus includes a base member that is adapted to connect to a fixed support, such as a trailer hitch of a motor vehicle. A riser member is adjustably connected to the base member. A clamp-support member projects horizontally from the riser member, and the clamp-support member receives a tubing clamp which is used to clamp onto and support a bicycle frame. A first screw-operated clamp is provided for fixing a predetermined height adjustment and rotational adjustment between the base member and the riser member. The bicycle frame tubing clamp is rotatably connected to the clamp-support member, and a second screw-operated clamp serves to fix a predetermined angle of rotation between the clamp-support and the tubing clamp. In addition, an adjustable tray is provided that is secured to the riser member. The tray can include a liquid-retaining portion for a solvent, a drying rack for drying components cleaned by the solvent, and a magnet assembly for holding tools. By using the adjustable bicycle clamp support of the invention, a bicycle mechanic can support a bicycle on a frame tubing clamp at a continuum of heights and angles, such that the mechanic can service the bicycle from in front of, from behind, to the left of, and to the right of the bicycle.

Adjustable bicycle clamp support

An apparatus to include a storage container arranged for vertical mounting to a support surface, wherein the storage container mounts an outlet conduit and valve associated therewith. The container is provided with a cavity to receive and store a fluid-receiving pan container permitting ease of disposal of waste oil from an associated vehicular oil change. Waste oil containers are thereafter positioned below the storage container conduit to receive the waste oil for subsequent recycling. A modification of the invention includes a first and second storage container mounted to opposed side walls of the primary storage container to include respective granular absorbing material and saturated oil absorbing material respectively. An underlying tray is positioned below a manifold mounted to the container conduit for permitting filling of a plurality of waste oil containers simultaneously.
