ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary seat adapted to be mounted over the wheel of a conventional bicycle includes a shock absorbing support assembly. The support assembly includes a pair of struts, one end of each being fixedly secured to the bicycle frame near the bicycle wheel axle and the other end of each being secured to the primary seat mounting bolt of the bicycle. Each strut, in turn, includes a shock absorber assembly for cushioning the axillary seat when the bicycle traverses a bump or other obstruction. The preferred shock absorber assembly comprises a helical compression spring retained between a sleeve coaxially and slidably engaging the bottom portion of each strut. The normal or rest position of the spring may be selectively adjustably positioned at various axial locations on the lower portion of the strut by employment of a spring retainer engaging one of a series of axially spaced holes in the strut to thereby vary the bias of the compression spring and therefore compensate the shock absorbing capacity of the shock absorber assembly in accordance with the weight of the expected occupant of the auxiliary seat.
