A luggage supporting rack which comprises a frame defining a support surface for supporting luggage and having one end pivotally connected to the top portion of the bicycle forks and the other outer end attached to flexible tie members which are in turn attached to an upper part of the cycle and to the lower part of the forks. The flexible ties and the pivotable connection form a suspension system for the load. Turnbuckles adjust the tension of the tie members.
