Abstract

A bicycle training device used on a bicycle provides a user or trainer with the ability to safely and effectively supervise a rider in gaining steering and balance skills. The device is generally U-shaped with a forwardly-disposed handle at the top. The U-shaped handle is connected to the supporting legs by two curved portions. The supporting legs are fixedly attached to the rear of the bicycle at a suitable location such as the rear axle. The device enables the user or trainer to guide the bicycle and rider safely and without exerting undue forces on the bicycle by providing a multiplicity of comfortable and accessible gripping points. These separated gripping portions are available for each hand of the user and the user may guide, push or pull the device from the left side, right side or rear of the bicycle. The device is preferably of unitary tubular construction. It preferably has at least a portion, most preferably, substantially all of its outer surface covered with a cushioning material.
