Disclosed are vehicle-mounted equipment racks capable of securing one or more articles of recreational equipment, such as bicycles and/or kayaks. When utilized to store bicycles, the equipment rack stores the bicycles in a vertical orientation, thereby providing the vehicle to which the equipment mount is installed to have maximum overhead clearance and, as compared to vehicle-mounted equipment racks storing bicycles in horizontal orientations, permit storage of bicycles with less “overhang” and are subject to less torque load. In one embodiment, the equipment rack comprises at least one substantially vertical member having a top end and a bottom end, a wheel hook disposed at the top end, a wheel support member disposed at the bottom end, and a mounting portion disposed at the bottom end and adapted to attach to a frame of the trailer.
