Bicycle cable-wrap prevention device

A device (10) for attachment to a steering tube (20) of a bicycle (30), wherein the device (10) is configured for preventing bicycle cables (40) from wrapping around a head tube (50) of the bicycle (30), wherein the bicycle (30) includes an upper tube (60) joined to the head tube (50) and further includes a lower tube (70) joined to the head tube (50), wherein the device (10) comprises:

• an arm (100) having a proximate end portion (110) removably secured to the steering tube (20) and a distal end portion (120) spaced from the proximate end portion (110), wherein the distal end portion (120) extends away from the steering tube (20) along a first axis (X-X), wherein the head tube (50) defines a hollow interior;
• and
• a stop (200) secured to the distal end portion (120) of the arm (100) wherein the stop (200) comprises a spherical object the size of a tennis ball, wherein the exterior surface of the spherical object is a synthetic material to prevent damage to the exterior surface finish of the bicycle, wherein the steering tube (20) is rotatably disposed about a second axis (Y-Y) through the hollow interior of the head tube (50), wherein the second axis (Y-Y) is disposed transverse to the first axis (X-X), wherein the stop (200) is configured to abut the lower tube (70) either at a first position (300) or at a second position (400), wherein the first position (300) is spaced from the second position (400), whereby the stop (200) permits rotation of the steering tube (20) about the second axis (Y-Y) only between the first position (300) and the second position (400), thereby preventing bicycle cables (40) from wrapping around the head tube (50) of a bicycle (30).
