A supporting device for a bicycle carried on the rear of a vehicle is provided, said device including a base (50, figure 2), a vertical rod 60 and two horizontal rods 70. The vertical rod is disposed on the base and has at least one fixing member 65 which can hook on a top tube of a bicycle. The two horizontal rods are respectively pivoted to two sides of the base, and each has at least one position-restricting member 75 for restricting wheels of the bicycle. The base may have a connecting rod 30 on its underside for detachably connecting the device to a vehicle. The vertical rod may be pivoted to lie adjacent to the horizontal rods so as to provide access to the vehicle and, when the device is not in use, the horizontal rods may be folded up adjacent to the vertical rod (figure 3). The device provides a rack which supports a bicycle at three points, and thus is intended to be more stable in use.
