There is disclosed a bicycle rack 1, such as for attachment to the rear of a vehicle, comprising a base 2 and a rotatable support structure 4. The rotatable support structure comprises one or more arms 5a which are pivotally connected to the base at a proximal end, and further comprises one or more sockets 9 connected to a distal end of the one or more arms. Each socket includes a slot (28, figure 2) which extends into the socket from a mouth of the socket. The rotatable support structure is pivotally moveable between a storage position (figure 3C) and a loading position. In the storage position the sockets face upward, securing the bicycle. In the loading position the sockets face outward to allow a crank arm of a bicycle to be pushed into a socket without lifting the bicycle. An actuator, such as a linear actuator or gas strut, may be provided for rotating the support structure, and a plate 10 may be provided for preventing excessive rotation of a rear wheel of a mounted bicycle.
