A hitch mounted bicycle carrier that vertically mounts a plurality of bicycles. The bicycles are secured by the front tire in a C-hoop structure at the top of the bicycle carrier. 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. The bicycle carrier also acts as a bicycle tuning, repair, and workstation when on the back of a vehicle or when in use as a storage access rack. The bicycle carrier also features integrated locking cables as an anti-theft deterrent when riders aren't with the bicycles and bicycle carrier.
