ABSTRACT:
A mowing apparatus is provided by a reel-type or rotary mower towed by a vehicle, such as a bicycle, by a draw bar adapted to mount onto existing mower brackets and onto the vehicle by a connector that mounts to a frame element of the vehicle. The draw bar includes a resilient element that preferably permits flexing relative to the vehicle so that the mower articulates relative to the vehicle and so that a normal load force may be applied to the mower. The connector is preferably adjustable to allow selective variance in the load force applied. The draw bar may be a single arcuate piece utilizing a spring as the resilient element. Alternatively, the draw bar may be one or a pair of stiff, yet resilient arms. A guard portion may be provided as an extension of the draw bar or as an auxiliary piece, and a grass shield may be employed.
