Abstract: Disclosed is a fixing system for fixing containers such as bags or baskets on a handlebar of a bicycle, comprising at least one, preferably at least two handlebar bands slidable over the handlebar in a sliding-on direction and at least partially embracing the handlebar in the slid-on position, and a carrying bracket, comprising a carrying-bracket-side coupling element for receiving the container, arranged on a cantilever section of the carrying bracket, the carrying bracket further comprising a receiving section, able to be brought into coupling engagement with the handlebar bands against the sliding-on direction and thus positionable on the handlebar by preferably fixedly clamping the handlebar, further comprising at least one securing means frictionally engageable in a rigid manner between the cantilever section and a component of the bicycle other than the handlebar, and preferably a handle stem, so that rotation of the cantilever section relative to the handlebar is prevented.

Abstract: In a carrier rack adapter kit for adapting a luggage carrier rack of a bicycle, a fastening bolt is extending via a first passageway through an auxiliary luggage carrier structure, via a second passageway through a first rod clamping head, and via a third passageway through a second rod clamping head. In reaction to a tightening action on the fastening bolt, shear forces along first and second inclined outer surface portions of the first and second rod clamping heads are urging the rod clamping heads to move towards one another. The carrier rack adapter kit allows for universal, easy and quick mounting of an auxiliary luggage carrier structure above luggage carrier racks of various configurations and various dimensions.
