Abstract
A cycle has a frame, a seat, a rear wheel, a front fork and handlebar, a front wheel rotatably secured to the front fork, and first and second pedals removably connected to the front wheel. The seat has a base, a top portion pivotally connected to the base to move between an open position and a closed position, and a cavity between the base and the top portion that is accessible when the top portion is in open position. The cavity has receivers that are sized to hold the first and second pedals after the first and second pedals are removed from the front wheel. The top portion can be moved to the closed position when the first and second pedals are in the receivers to store the first and second pedals in the cavity of the seat.
Claims20
A cycle, comprising:
- a frame;
- a rear leg pivot mechanism connected to the rear of the frame;
- first and second rear legs pivotally connected to the rear leg pivot mechanism;
- a first rear wheel connected to the first rear leg;
- a second rear wheel connected to the second rear leg, wherein the first and second rear wheels are pivotable with respect to the first and second rear legs to pivot the first and second rear wheels between a first inward position and a second outward position;
- a rear wheel pivot mechanism connecting the first rear wheel to the first rear leg, and another rear wheel pivot mechanism connecting the second rear wheel to the second rear leg, the pivot mechanisms allowing the rear wheels to independently pivot between the first inward position and the second outward position;
- a front fork connected to a front of the frame;
- a handlebar that operates the front fork;
- a front wheel rotatably secured to the front fork;
- first and second pedals removably connected to the front wheel;
- a release mechanism that releasably connects the first pedal to the front wheel, and another release mechanism that releasably connects the second pedal to the front wheel;
- and, a seat connected to the frame, wherein the seat comprises a base, a top portion pivotally connected to the base to move between an open position and a closed position, and a cavity between the base and the top portion that is accessible when the top portion is in open position, wherein the cavity has receivers that are sized to hold the pedals after the pedals are removed from the front wheel, and wherein the top portion can be moved to the closed position when the pedals are in the receivers to store the pedals in the cavity of the seat.
