BICYCLE CARRIER WITH HITCH MOUNT

A bicycle carrier with a hitch mount includes a hinge assembly that couples a support post to a hitch bar configured for coupling to a vehicle hitch bar receiver, the hinge assembly including a damper to control a rate of rotation of the support post relative to the hitch bar. A plurality of wheel receiving members are coupled to a horizontal support member, which is in turn coupled to the support post. The hinge assembly may include one or more features configured to improve function of the bicycle carrier.
