A bicycle-carrying device for motor-vehicles comprises a support structure (2) defining a main axis (2A), and a plurality of legs (3) carried by the support structure (2) for abutment on the rear part of a motor-vehicle. At least some of the legs are orientable around the main axis (2A). The device further comprises a plurality of arms (4) carried by the support structure (2) for supporting one or more bicycles. A number of flexible clamping belts (4B) are anchored to the arms and define cradle-like portions (4A) for receiving a frame tube (T) of a bicycle carried by the bicycle-carrying device. Each flexible clamping belt (4B) has a number of projections (411) which are spaced from each other in a longitudinal direction (M) of the belt body (401) and configured to act as spacers when the flexible clamping belt (4B) is clamped around a bicycle tube (T), so as to define gaps (412) through which any bicycle wire (W) extending adjacent to, and along, the bicycle tube (T) can be arranged.
