Benefits of technology

[0010]The primary object of the present invention is to provide an adjustable bicycle carrier which a user mounts a bicycle on the adjustable bicycle carrier and rotatably adjusts a length of a first mounting rack with one hand so as to avoid the first mounting rack falling from the adjustable bicycle carrier, thus obtaining operating safety and convenience.
[0012]Furthermore object of the present invention is to provide an adjustable bicycle carrier in which a ratchet mechanism is arranged between a rotatable adjusting device and a locking device so as to rotate the rotatable adjustment knob with one hand and to adjust the length and the height of the first mounting rack, thus avoiding danger during automatic rotation.
[0013]Another object of the present invention is to provide an adjustable bicycle carrier in which an affixing member is fixed securely by contacting a first engagement portion with a second engagement portion so as to enhance locking stability of the adjustable bicycle carrier.

Problems solved by technology

However, such a bicycle carrier cannot be applicable for bicycle wheels of varying size.
In addition, although the first circular hoop has an adjusting device secured on a middle section of the first circular hoop at a high heightens, so it is difficult for a user to climb up to the roof so as to fix the bicycle on the bicycle carrier.
Likewise, the adjusting device does not have a locking device to position a movable rod securely.
