Abstract
These systems allow transporting a bicycle on a vehicle. The bicycle may have two wheels, a front wheel and a rear wheel, each wheel having spokes or other passage between the wheel's tire and the wheel's axle, and a hinge to allow steering between the front wheel and the rear wheel. The system includes a front and rear wheel-suspender to suspend the front and rear wheel by passing through the spokes to allow the front wheel to hang on the front wheel-suspender. The system includes a support to support the front wheel-suspender and the rear wheel-suspender separated by a span sufficient to allow suspension of the bicycle while the front wheel and rear wheel remain operably attached to the bicycle. The system includes a mount to mount the support to the vehicle. Also disclosed is a system for hitching together frames to expand the number of bicycles that may be transported by the system.
