A vehicle roof top or pickup bed mountable bicycle transport apparatus designed to utilize a novel bicycle loading and unloading method to overcome the difficult loading and unloading drawbacks of currently available apparatuses in the art by effectively reducing the weight of the bicycle, as experienced by the loading and unloading person, by reducing the height the bicycle is required to be lifted to and by offering equal access to the vehicle's entire cargo area available for transporting bicycles. The apparatus consists of a horizontal platform element to roll the bicycle on and along during the loading and unloading processes, raised horizontal guide rail elements to guide and retain the bicycle along and within the confines of the platform during the loading and unloading processes, and vertical stabilizing elements to provide longitudinal and transverse stability for the bicycle during the transport process.
