ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a bicycle fork protection and stability device to be used in conjunction with a bicycle frame and rear wheel when the front wheel is removed (by use of a quick release mechanism). In the situations when the front wheel is removed, in order to provide protection to the bicycle axle forks on the forward main bicycle fork, as well as stability to the remaining frame, bicycle axle fork-receiving shoes are mounted to accommodate the reception of each of the forward axle fingers the axle forks of the bicycle. An upper compartment is defined in the shoe to accommodate the axle fork, while a lower under surface has a relatively skid resistant material with a high coefficient of friction to enhance stability. The shoes function as a bicycle stand for those situations in which the owner of the bicycle wishes to park his bicycle with the front forward wheel removed.
