Abstract
A bicycle wheel cleaning system is used to clear dirt and debris from one or more of the wheels of a bicycle. The system includes at least one wheel cleaning assembly which is attached to a bicycle. The at least one wheel assembly is used to easily clean the wheel of a bicycle and includes a brush, a pushrod, a housing sleeve, and a spring-loaded control mechanism. The brush may be pressed against the wheel of the bicycle to clear debris. The push rod is used to move the brush towards or away from the wheel depending on if the wheel needs to be cleaned. The spring-loaded control mechanism interacts with the pushrod to either push the brush towards or away from the wheel. The housing sleeve is used to protect the spring-loaded control mechanism and to limit how far the pushrod may be moved.
