Abstract: A carrier to transport a surfboard of similarly shaped article on a bicycle. The carrier has a pair of elongate members hingedly joined to each other and crossing each other at a location along their lengths. One member has a first end attachable immediately beneath a seat of the bicyle. The other member has a second end attachable on an axle of the bicycle. The members have padded substantially V-shaped portions formed to receive an edge of a surfboard. The members each have another end to support resilient members for engaging around the surfboard when fitted on the carrier to hold the surfboard firmly in position in the padded portions so that the surfboard projects forwardly and upwardly relative to the bicycle and clear of a head of a rider when the rider is riding the bicycle.
