A cycle carrier support bar has a cycle end grip device (4) at a first end of a tubular spacer bar (2) and a carrier end grip device (5) at the second end. The cycle end grip device can be a flexible strap (42) with a tensioning lever (43) and a key-operated lock (6). The carrier end grip device (5) can be a rigid clamp with opposed jaws (51,52) connected at a pivot (54) and closed releasably by a latch mechanism operated by a longitudinally-slidable carrier shuttle (55) carrying a detent of the latch. The latch is released to open the carrier end grip device (5) by pulling on the wire of a Bowden cable (8) which extends along the middle of the tubular spacer bar, and has an actuating lever (7) exposed through a window in the cycle end grip (4), so as to be accessible only when the cycle end grip (4) is open.
