A bicycle rack 1 has a wheel gutter 3, provided with a bottom 5 and an upright side wall 7, as well as a wheel bracket 9 provided with two legs 11 and 13. The wheel bearing surface 6 of the bottom 5 is at an angle 8 with respect to the side wall 7. Furthermore, one of the legs 11 of the wheel bracket 9 is located directly above the side wall 7. Due to the wheel bearing surface 6 sloping towards an edge of the wheel gutter 3, the wheel 103 will run sideways against the upright side wall 7 while the bicycle 101 is riding in the wheel gutter 3. Because the center of gravity of a bicycle is not in the middle, gravity will ensure that the wheel 103 will lean against the leg 11. This will cause the bicycle 101 to get upright in the bicycle rack 1 while riding in the bicycle rack 1.
