Single pole aerial tramway apparatus for cycles

A single pole aerial tramway apparatus for transporting bicycles via an aerial cable, the apparatus comprising:

• a single bowed pole being defined by a pole cable end, a pole cycle end, and a medial region, the single bowed pole being configured to bow outwardly at the medial region, the pole cycle end being generally perpendicular to the pole cable end;
• a cable extension member capable of engaging the aerial cable;
• a hinged bracket disposed at the single pole cable end and connected to the cable extension member, the hinged bracket enabling the bowed pole to sway in a pendulum motion;
• a multi-cycle support assembly joined to the pole cycle end, the multi-cycle support assembly comprising:
• a primary stabilization bar connected perpendicularly to the pole cycle end of the bowed pole;
• at least one secondary stabilization bar connected perpendicularly to the pole cycle end of the bowed pole, the secondary stabilization bar disposed in a parallel, spaced-apart relationship with the primary stabilization bar;
• and
• a plurality of cycle racks comprising an elongated panel defined by a front tire depression and a rear tire brace, the cycle racks being attached perpendicularly to the primary stabilization bar and the secondary stabilization bar, the cycle racks being disposed in a parallel, spaced-apart relationship with each other,
• whereby the medial region of the bowed pole bends distally from the cycle racks so as to create space for handle bars and front tires of the transported bicycles,
• whereby the multi-cycle support assembly sways in a pendulum motion with the bowed pole.

• a bracket disposed at the pole cable end, the bracket detachably attachable to the cable extension member from a cable of an aerial tramway;
• a multi-cycle support assembly joined to the pole cycle end, the multi-cycle support assembly comprising:
• a primary stabilization bar connected perpendicularly to the pole cycle end of the bowed pole;
• at least one secondary stabilization bar connected perpendicularly to the pole cycle end of the bowed pole, the secondary stabilization bar disposed in a parallel, spaced-apart relationship with the primary stabilization bar;
• a plurality of cycle racks comprising an elongated panel defined by a front tire depression and a rear tire brace, the flat panel having a textured surface, the front tire depression configured to receive a front tire of a cycle, the rear tire brace configured to receive a rear tire of the cycle, the cycle racks being attached perpendicularly to the primary stabilization bar and the secondary stabilization bar, the cycle racks being disposed in a parallel, spaced-apart relationship with each other,
• whereby the medial region of the bowed pole bends distally from the cycle racks, so as to create space for handle bars and front tires of the transported bicycles;
• a front tire alignment member extending from the front tire depression, the tire alignment member being defined by an elongated U-shape;
• and
• a pair of lateral front tire alignment shafts disposed longitudinally along the front tire depression.
