ABSTRACT:
A rear bicycle attachment handle mechanism used on a small child's bicycle providing a safety feature for the inexperienced rider by allowing a supervising adult to have partial control over an unsteady bicycle, and also providing a supervising adult with the means to propell the bicycle forward without having to stoop or bend over. Furthermore, the rear bicycle attachment handle serves as an excellent exercise tool to be used by a walking adult and a bicycling child whereby the adult can assist the child in propelling the bicycle forward when the child is tired or needs assistance in ascending hills.
The handle section of the invention is comprised of two vertical elongated attachment members (10a and 10b), a hard rubber-like handle (22) positioned horizontally between the upper portions of the attachment members, and a handle bolt (24) securely connecting this section together. The support section is comprised of a vertical support member (16) positioned between the lower sections of the two attachment members, two hard rubber-like spacer bars (28a and 28b) placed horizontally and adjacent to the upper-most portion of the support member, and a support bolt (30) connecting this support section together. The support section is securely bolted onto the attachment handle section through one of three sets of adjustment holes (14a, 14b or 14c), located along the central portion of the attachment members, providing the user of the invention with variations in handle heights which correspond with different user and bicycle heights. Once the entire unit is assembled, the lower ends of the attachment members are bolted onto the existing rear wheel axle of a bicycle and the lower end of the support member is attached to the existing seat adjustment bolt of the bicycle.
