A bicycle carrier comprises a channel configured to receive a bike wheel (16, fig 1) formed as a groove on the exterior panel 18 of a vehicle which can be installed as a replacement for a rear windscreen. The panel can include a window. The channel can have water drainage holes to release collected water and may have covers to prevent water ingress (fig 7). The channels can be used to hold spare wheels. Clamps 52 for holding the bicycle frame are removably mounted on a pantograph frame 20 to improve aerodynamics and the pantograph has a crossbar shaped to provide downforce or reduce drag (50, fig 5). The clamps 52 have opposing jaws 56, 58 with an over-centre latch 64 to lock resilient inserts 60 against the bicycle frame. Separate wheel guides 22 can be stuck to other vehicle panels.
