A bike rack for a car comprises a support structure 2 defining a main axis 2A, a number of arms 4 for supporting a bicycle, a number of legs 3 for abutting against a car, and cables or belts 30 with hook members 201. The legs are adjustable around the main axis and have an internal cavity comprising a wind-up or roller device for retracting and winding the cables around. The wind-up device defines a winding axis (51A, fig 7) which is spaced from the main axis. Preferably the wind up device comprises a ratchet mechanism (52, fig 8) with a lever 525 with a rest position and first operating and second operating positions. In moving to the first position, the lever tensions the cable. In moving to the second position, which may be opposed to the first position, the lever releases the tension in the cable.
