A cycle carrier that includes a gripping device (6) which engages with and fixedly retains a portion of a cycle. Further, the cycle carrier includes an operating device (7) with which the gripping device (6) is maneuvered between its closed and its open position. The gripping device (6) is openable against a spring pretensioning which, when it is released, transfers the gripping device (6) to an abutment position against the cycle. The abutment position is determined by the thickness of the fixedly held portion of the cycle. The operating device (7) includes means (15) for transferring the gripping device (6) to a clamping position. In the clamping position, the gripped portion of the cycle is fixedly clamped in the gripping device (6).

[ What is claimed and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is as follows:] [1.]1. A cycle carrier having a gripping device for engagement with and positionally fixing retention of a portion of a cycle and an operating device for maneuvering the gripping device between a closed position and an open position, comprising:said gripping device being openable against a spring pretensioning so that upon release, said spring pretensioning is disposed to transfer said gripping device to an abutment position against a gripped portion of a cycle that has been inserted into the open gripping device, the abutment position being dependent upon the thickness of the gripped portion;said operating device includes engagement means for transferring said gripping device to a clamping position where the gripped portion is positionally fixedly clamped in the gripping device regardless of where the abutment position was located;a movable operating member motionally interconnected with said gripping device for maneuvering said gripping device; a clamping member which, on activation, is disposed for transferring the operating member to or from positions which correspond to the clamping position and the abutment position of said gripping device; andsaid operating member has an engagement device which, for establishing said clamping position of said gripping device, is engageable in a corresponding engagement device on said clamping member, this latter engagement device being included in a series of engagement devices on said clamping member and being determined by the position of said operating member and thereby by the abutment position of said gripping device.
