ABSTRACT:
A windshield for a cycle, such as a motorcycle, bicycle or tricycle, having a dihedral leading surface to provide operator protection of wind, dust, bugs and debris. The windshield further comprises a pair of side panels extending from the dihedral leading surface to provide added stability to the cycle by providing a corrective steering force behind the axis of the cycle's fork to maintain the orientation of the fork into the wind. The windshield is securely attached to a cycle without the use of tools and with adequate strength to withstand the rigors of prolonged use. The attachment between the cycle and the windshield preferably includes a break-away feature to allow for one piece break-away of the windshield if subjected to rear impact from a cycle's rider or passenger during a crash. The windshield is free from metal bracketry extending into the operator's field of vision or potential path or trajectory of the operator or passenger in an accident, due to the strength inherent in the windshield's shape and construction.
