ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus involving a mounting system for securing a carrier for carrying one or more bicycles on a motor vehicle. The mounting system, which is connected to both the motor vehicle and the carrier, includes a strap and a tensioning assembly that is connected intermediate the ends of the strap. In one embodiment, the tension assembly includes a frame, a slidable member and a compression spring that is positioned between the frame and slidable member. In another embodiment, the tension assembly includes a frame, a slidable member and a tension spring that is positioned between the frame and the slidable member. As the strap is tightened for securing the carrier to the motor vehicle, the tension assembly maintains the strap in tension when the strap would otherwise become slack due to jarring of the carrier.
