The bicycle rack consists of a substantially inverted U-shaped strut member and an elongated top member which overlies and is connected to the bridge of the U-shaped strut member. Side members extend from each side of the top member to overlap a portion of a respective leg of the U-shaped strut member. Each side member is substantially V-shaped and at least one leg of one side members carries an interface for releasably engaging a clip which is mounted on a side wall of the side container.

A bicycle rack for mounting on the frame of a bicycle, and being adapted to support at least one side container, said side container having at least one side wall and having a clip means mounted on said one side wall; said rack comprising; a substantially inverted U-shaped strut member having a top end, formed by the bridge of said U-shape, and a bottom end, comprising the ends of the spaced apart legs of said U-shape, said ends of said legs being connectable to respective sides of said frame of said bicycle to connect said rack to said bicycle; an elongated top member having a front end adapted to be connected to the frame of a bicycle and a mid-portion overlying and being connected to said top end of said strut member; side members extending from each side of said top member and attached to a respective leg of said U-shaped strut member; each said side member being substantially V-shaped and having an apex and two legs, the ends of the legs being connected to respective ends of the top member at respective sides thereof, each apex being connected to a respective leg of the strut member; and an interface means on one leg of at least one of said side members, said interface means engaging said clip means to releasably attach said side container to said rack; wherein said clip means on said container comprises a clip wall having a top edge, a front end and a rear end, an elongated inverted L-shaped hook extending outwardly from said clip wall adjacent said top edge, and further including a front stabilizer adjacent the front end and a rear stabilizer adjacent the rear end said front stabilizer and said rear stabilizer extending outwardly from said clip wall; said interface means of said rack comprising; an interface wall defined by said one leg of said side member and having a top edge and a bottom edge; i) an elongated outwardly L-shaped hook extending from said interface wall adjacent said bottom edge and having a front end and a rear; ii) a butt at the end of said L-shaped hook adjacent said front end; iii) a front stopper on said interface wall adjacent said front end; iv) a rear stopper on said interface wall adjacent said top edge and said rear end; whereby once said container is mounted on said rack, said L-shaped hook engages said inverted L-shaped hook, said rear stabilizer underlies said rear stopper, said front stabilizer underlies said front stopper and the front end of said rotated L-shaped hook abuts said butt.
