Provided is a bracket 1 suitable for attaching a bicycle to a vehicle roof. The bracket 1 comprises two hingedly-connected jaws 8C, 14C that can clamp around a roof bar provided on a vehicle roof. One jaw 8C is provided with a nut-and-bolt arrangement 11, 12 and is connected to a main tube 7C to which is attached a shorter tube 3C, to which a bicycle seat tube can be attached and secured via the clamp provided on the seat tube. The main tube 7C can be adapted so that it can be attached to larger bicycles and tandems. The other jaw 14C has an opening 21 for engaging with the nut 11C and bolt 12C provided on the first jaw 8C. The user removes the bicycle seat and attaches the seat tube to the shorter tube 3C, thus allowing the bicycle to be mounted upside-down on the vehicle roof.
