Abstract
A cylindrical peg adapted for side mounting on each axle of a bicycle to extend laterally outward therefrom for riding a rail when participating in the stunt of grinding.

A peg for operating a bicycle in the stunt of grinding, wherein the peg comprises:
- an elongated cylindrical unit adapted to be received and laterally supported on a wheel axle of the bicycle with which the peg is to be used, wherein the unit includes a central hub defining a concentrically threaded aperture in which to receive the wheel axle of the bicycle and the cover is bearing mounted for rotation about the hub;
- a cover defining the periphery of the unit, the cover being supported for rotation so as to effect a rolling mode when engaging an elongated rail in the course of performing the stunt;
- and
- apparatus for converting the peg on site interchangeably between supporting the cover for rotation in the rolling mode and supporting the cover secured against rotation in a fixed mode.
