Abstract:
1. A bicycle rack intended in use to be supported from a support, the rack comprising: a base adapted to be fixed to the support; a support member having an outer and an inner edge, the inner edge of the support member being connected to the base to enable the support member to be pivotable about a first axis that is substantially horizontal and the outer edge having a first wheel support structure, the support member being moveable between a first position, at which the support member is upwardly adjacent to the support, and a second position at which the support member extends laterally from the support, the support member pivotable about a third axis between the second position and a third position at which the support member is substantially laterally adjacent the support, the third axis being substantially perpendicular and coplanar with respect to the first axis; a brace member comprising at least one bracing arm disposed between the base and the support member, and a second wheel support structure, the brace member adapted to support the support member when the support member is in the second position; wherein the second wheel support structure is disposed substantially intermediate the first wheel support structure and the inner edge of the support member and wherein the first wheel support structure and the second wheel support structure are adapted to receive and support therebetween a portion of a wheel of a bicycle with spaced clearance from the support when the support member is in the second position such that the support member is pivotally displaceable between the second position and the third position when operatively supporting a bicycle.
