Abstract
This disclosure relates to a system for balancing a bicycle. The system can comprise a frame, a tension system, and a steering system. The frame can be capable of mounting to a bicycle. The tension system can be capable of connecting with handlebars of the bicycle. The steering system can be mounted to the frame, further the steering system can be in communication with the tension system such that manually maneuvering the steering system can adjust tension within the tension system to steer the bicycle.
Claims20
A system for balancing a bicycle comprising
- a frame that is capable of mounting to a bicycle;
- a tension system capable of connecting with handlebars of said bicycle;
- and
- a steering system mounted to said frame, further said steering system is in communication with said tension system such that manually maneuvering said steering system adjusts tension within said tension system to steer said bicycle,
