A cycle bracket for transport of a cycle on a vehicle roof is provided with an anchorage strut secured to the vehicle roof and provided with two clamps which are adjustable to one another and which, by means of gripping members manufactured of a semi-rigid material, grasp about a frame tube in the cycle. The form of the gripping members is adjustable to the frame tube. In order to achieve simple and reliable adaptation of the gripping members, these include a jaw which is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the clamp and which, together with an abutment fixedly disposed at the free end of the clamp, defines an accommodation space variable in both size and shape for the frame tube. Furthermore, the abutment portion is of one-piece manufacture with a flexible form-adapting member which is located between concave surfaces on the jaw and the frame tube.
A holder for transportation of a bicycle on a vehicle comprising an anchorage device connected to the vehicle and having two clamps adjustable relative to one another, said clamps having gripping members provided for gripping a frame tube of the bicycle when tightening said clamps, the shape of said gripping members being adaptable to the frame tube, said gripping members comprising one abutment member and one jaw provided on each clamp, said abutment member and said jaw defining a portion of an accommodation space for accommodating the frame tube, said jaw being movable relative to said abutment member in said clamp to adjust the size of the accommodation space, said jaw having a concave surface facing an opposite one of the clamps.
