A sealing construction for rotating joints of a bicycle, in which two or more first sealing members and second sealing members of ring-like shape are mounted alternately one after another on a stationary member and a rotary member and a gap therebetween is closed through an annular, zigzag and narrow passage, so that the narrow passage functions to provide a labyrinth effect, thereby preventing dust or rain water from entering a bearing.
