Abstract
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.
