2050939 9011206 PCTABS00002 A holder device for fixedly securing a load (4, 5), for example abicycle, on a vehicle roof is provided with a support channel (1) in which the wheel (4) of the cycle rests. The holder device is further provided with a retaining stirrup (6, 7) pivotal to an operative position for engagement with the frame tube (5) of the cycle. The retaining stirrup is connected by the intermediary of joints (8) to the support channel (1), which is, in its turn, secured with a releasable, U-shaped yoke (10) in the region of the connection between the retaining stirrup (6, 7) and the support channel (1), on a strut (3) disposed transversely across the vehicle roof. In order to prevent unauthorised removal of the holder device, with a cycle secured therein, from the strut (3), the stirrup (6, 7) is, according to the invention, provided, at the joints (8), with detent portions (12) which, in the operative position of the retaining stirrup (6, 7), cover an aperture (11) through which a locking heel on one shank of the yoke (10) must be passed on removal of the yoke (10). By pivoting the retaining stirrup (6, 7), when the cycle is removed, to an inoperative position, the aperture (11) is exposed so that the yoke (10) may be removed. The other end of the yoke (10) is provided with an excenter lock.
