A bicycle retaining device (1) for retaining a bicycle in a bicycle carrier arrangement on a transporting vehicle, the bicycle retaining device comprising an elongated supporting arm (2) extending in a longitudinal direction (L) of the retaining device. The retaining device further comprises a retaining claw (3) being arranged at an outer end (4) of the supporting arm (2). The retaining claw (3) comprises a first claw part (5) comprising a first bicycle abutment surface (6) and being connected to the supporting arm (2), and a second claw part (7) comprising a second bicycle abutment surface (8), the second claw part (7) being arranged with the second bicycle abutment surface (8) facing the first bicycle abutment surface (6). The second claw part (7) is arranged to be movable with respect to the supporting arm (2) and the first claw part (5) such that a distance (d) between the first and the second bicycle abutment surfaces (6,8) is adjustable between a maximum distance (d max ) and a minimum distance (d min ). The first claw part (5) has an inner end (10) proximal to the supporting arm (2) and an outer end (11) distal from the supporting arm (2), and the second claw part (7) has an inner end (12) proximal to the supporting arm (2) and an outer end (13) distal from the supporting arm (2). A catch (15) is arranged at the outer end (11) of the first claw part (5) and has a catching position with the catch (15) extending from the outer end (11) of the first claw part (5) in a direction toward the outer end (13) of the second claw part (7). When in the catching position, the catch (15) is arranged to partially bridge the maximum distance (d max ) between the first and the second abutment surfaces (6,8).
