Abstract

A ski assembly for a bicycle includes a mounting frame with a mounting aperture therein and a wheel axle that is received through the mounting aperture of the mounting frame and extends through one of the wheels of the bicycle to mount the wheel relative to the bicycle while supporting the mounting frame in part relative to the bicycle. Two ski members are pivotally supported on respective support arms that are movable relative to the mounting frame by a biasing member that urges the ski member downwardly. The biasing member can be adjusted relative to the mounting frame between a working position in which the ski members are arranged to engage the ground at opposing sides of the wheel of the bicycle and a stored position in which the ski members are supported in raised elevation and out-of-use relative to the working position.
