ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for carrying one or more bicycles on a motor vehicle and a securing system for securing the carrier to the motor vehicle. The securing system includes a stretchable and contractible resilient web whose ends are attached to form a loop. A buckle is held within the loop and a strap is threaded through the buckle. The web, which is stretched by tightening the strap, maintains tension in the securing system. When tightened, adjacent surfaces of the loop and the web are in close juxtaposition. Separation between adjacent surfaces of the resilient web and the portion of the strap that forms the loop, provides a visual indication of the degree of tension in the securing system.
