A rear mounted vehicle bike rack includes several adjustable features that allow the bike rack to be configured for a desired use, and to enable normal access to the vehicle rear cargo area. The bike rack includes two sets of telescoping arms that may be independently diagonally retracted or extended to adjust the distance at which the rack or a carried bike is positioned from the vehicle hatch door, and the height above the road surface at which the rack or carried bike is positioned. A cargo assembly of the bike rack stays parallel to the road surface during adjustment of the telescoping arms and includes a folding shelf portion that may be positioned to increase the cargo surface area. A hitch assembly allows a proximal set of telescoping arms to rotate upwards towards the vehicle into a storage position when the bike rack is not in use.
