ABSTRACT:
A tow bar for towing a trailing bicycle by a leading bicycle. The tow bar includes a leading portion for extending rearwardly from the leading bicycle, a trailing portion for extending forwardly from the trailing bicycle, and first apparatus for connecting the leading portion to the trailing portion. The leading portion includes a U-shaped bar for straddling the rear wheel of the leading bicycle and has a pair of free ends for replaceably attaching to the rear fork of the leading bicycle and second apparatus for replaceably attaching the leading portion to the rear fork of the leading bicycle. The trailing portion includes a U-shaped bar for straddling the front wheel of the trailing bicycle and has a pair of free ends for replaceably attaching to the front fork of the trailing bicycle and third apparatus for replaceably attaching the trailing portion to the front fork of the trailing bicycle. The first apparatus allows the leading portion and the trailing portion to be substantially coplanar with each other, while allowing them to pivot side to side relative to each other to accommodate for turns and allowing them to rotate axially relative to each other to accommodate for any irregularities in the ground being rode on.
