The bicycle carrier secures a rear tire to a lower mounting structure. The bicycle carrier is configured to be mounted to the vehicle with an anti-rattle hitch mounting method. A hinge structures integrates dampers/gas springs to slow the hinging of the bicycle carrier when loaded with bicycles. The bicycle carrier when not in use for transportation doubles as a bicycle storage and access rack.
