ABSTRACT:
A flag assembly that is worn by a cyclist consists of a relatively thin plate that rotatably supports a flagpole. A spring that is attached to the plate retains the flagpole in selected vertical, left-of-vertical or right-of-vertical orientations. The spring is preferably formed by a tempered-spring wire that is bent into two vertical legs and a horizontal member with a strategically placed inverted detent that holds the flagpole in the vertical orientation. In the preferred embodiment the assembly is carried by a modified fanny pack, which includes a back pocket that is sized to hold the plate. The cyclist wears the modified fanny pack in a conventional manner and the flag assembly rests against the cyclist's spine, which, in turn, maintains the assembly in proper alignment. In a second embodiment, the apparatus is supported by a belt that is worn around the cyclist's waist.
