A cushioning arrangement for a strap for an equipment retainer, such as for use with a vehicle-mounted bicycle rack or the like, includes a cushion member selectively receivable over the strap. The cushion member defines a cushioned inner surface that prevents damage to the item of equipment when the strap is engaged about the item of equipment. The cushion member includes a series of segments that are coupled to one another and are selectively expandable in an axial direction along a length of the strap, to provide an expandable and contractable adjustable length feature. The series of segments may each include a spacer member extending across a width of the strap, a bridge member coupled to opposing ends of the spacer member; and expandable and contractable connectors between adjacent segments to couple the segments in a selectively expandable and contractable manner.
