A bike rack for, but not limited to, truck and vehicle beds using an over center locking mechanism actuated by a lever. The mechanism is combined with a clamping arm that, once it is set to fit a wheel diameter, allows a bike to be secured or released in about 1 second by a single movement of the lever. The bike is secured without removing the bike's wheels. The same lever when reversed in a single movement, will quickly release the bike to be immediately removed. A slide assembly and tuning knob will allow for adjustment to fit common tire diameters on the market. The design implements three points of contact which will accept the front or back wheel of a bike. The points of contact are: one fixed point wheel chock, one clamping arm, and one alignment roller. The alignment roller allows the tire to rotate into the rack and fully seat against each contact point. The bike is held securely by pressure created in the 3 points of contact against the tire. To mount the bike, the bike's wheel is placed into the rack and the clamping arm is lowered against the tire and locked into position by the lever creating a pressure fit.
