A releasable connector 10 has a shaft 110 with a threaded shaft portion for forming a connection and a splined shaft portion. A handle 130 has a first splined handle surface and is axially moveable relative to the shaft between first and second positions. In the second position the first splined handle surface is engaged with the splined shaft portion so rotation of the handle causes rotation of the shaft. The releasable connector has biasing means to bias the handle towards the first position. A cover 160 is selectively moveable to a first configuration in which the cover engages the handle to maintain the handle in the second position and inhibit rotation of the handle relative to the cover. This may be achieved by engagement between a second splined handle surface and a splined cover surface. In the first configuration the cover may prevent manual access to the handle. Also disclosed is a rack with the abovementioned connector, and said rack may be a bicycle rack or have towing connection means. Also disclosed is a vehicle connection socket comprising a threaded bore formed in a crush can and a bumper armature fixed relative to the crush can.
