1. A bicycle carrying frame with a tilt buffering apparatus, comprising:
a frame body with at least one carrier, which is used for carrying and fixing at least one bicycle;
a pair of position plates having a connecting hole, a positioning hole and a fixing hole mounted on the bottom of the frame body, positioned opposite to one another, and separated by a predetermined distance;
a buffer portion having an elongated body, with the elongated body having a buffer block and a temporary fixing part, whereby the buffer block has a through hole, the buffer portion is detachably located between the position plates, the through hole is aligned with the fixing hole of the two position plates, the temporary fixing portion is detachably fixed to the frame body or the position plates, and the buffer block has an inclined surface;
a connecting rod having a rod pivot hole and a rod positioning hole, whereby a part of the connecting rod with the rod pivot hole is located between the position plates, and a pivot pin passes through the connecting hole of the position plates and the rod pivot hole, so that the connecting rod can be pivoted between the position plates; and
a fastening bolt detachably penetrating the fixing hole of the position plates and passing through the through holes of the buffer block,
wherein the frame body and the position plates are operated to swing relative to the connecting rod, so that the connecting rod is located in a use position or a tilted position relative to the two position plates,
wherein at the use position, the rod positioning hole of the connecting rod is opposite to the positioning hole of the pair of the position plates, and fixed by a positioning pin passing therethrough, so that the frame body and the two positioning plates cannot swing relative to the connecting rod, and at the same time, the inclined surface of the buffer block is separated without contact from the connecting rod by a predetermined distance, and
wherein when the connecting rod is at the tilted position, the buffer block is pressed against the connecting rod on the inclined surface.
