ABSTRACT:
A velocipede has a frame with front and rear frame parts interconnected by a coupling so that the velocipede may be collapsed for storage or shipment, and so that it may be converted into different forms such as a tricycle or a bicycle, for example. In the illustrated examples the velocipede has a typical chain drive including pedals on a crank journalled in a crank hanger tube which is part of the rear frame part. The coupling includes the crank hanger tube which is snugly received in an upwardly opening cradle forming part of the front frame part. A tab at the top of the rear of the cradle is received in a slot in the rear of the crank hanger tube, and the front of the tube carries an upwardly extending plate with an alignment guide received in a hole in an upwardly extending plate of the front of the cradle to maintain the front and rear frame parts in alignment crosswise of the frame. The guide is internally threaded and receives a bolt extending through the hole in the cradle plate to clamp the two plates in firm facial engagement.
