Abstract
Shock absorbing securement devices can anchor a bicycle frame tube to a bicycle carrier. The securement device includes a bicycle carrier engaging surface. The securement device also includes a bicycle frame tube engaging surface positioned at a distance away from the carrier engaging surface in a bicycle transporting orientation. The securement device includes a resilient force-responsive contraction/expansion mechanism biased toward an expanded configuration and coupled between the bicycle frame tube engaging surface and the bicycle carrier engaging surface whereby travel of the bicycle frame tube engaging surface relative to the bicycle carrier engaging surface is accommodated.
