Carrier assembly for supporting and displaying cycles

Abstract

A carrier device for supporting cycles includes a track supported on a base, a bar adjustably supported on the track, and a supporting brace secured on the bar and having a stay for easily and quickly and readily supporting the cycles without additional fasteners or tools. A bracket may be used for adjustably securing the track on one or more rods of the base. The base includes a pair of posts supported on two beams, a pair of seats supported on the posts, and one or more rods secured between the seats. The seats each has a disc rotatably supported on a rotary member.
