A carrier for use in carrying items externally on a vehicle is disclosed having: a rack (10) upon which the items may be mounted which, in use, is supported by the vehicle in such a manner that the rack (10) extends away from the vehicle and that the weight of the rack and any items carried thereon bears against the vehicle; a plurality of straps (84, 86), each connected at a proximal end to the rack and having, at a distal end, a catch (82) to enable engagement of the strap with the vehicle; wherein tension in a pair of the straps is simultaneously adjustable by means of a movable handle (102) located on the rack, wherein motion of the handle causes retraction of each strap of the pair. |
