The present invention provides a rack for transporting bicycles and/or other items on a vehicle such as a car or truck. The rack has a mechanism that allows for tilting of a carrier portion of the rack relative to the vehicle, which enables easier loading and unloading of the rack and also easier access to the vehicle while the rack is mounted thereto. The tilting mechanism has a latch that is user operable by hand or foot for tilting the carrier, and the latch automatically re-engages when the carrier is returned upright. The mechanism employs relatively few moving parts, and is simple and robust in design and construction yet easy to operate by a user in the field.
