    Abstract: A tracked vehicle (18), or a kit (10) for converting a standard bicycle (14) into a tracked cycle, includes a track assembly (22) with a bogie assembly (84) for riding on snow, mud, sand, etc. The track assembly includes a continuous track (60) movably disposed about a drive wheel (64) coupled to a frame (34) of the vehicle or bike, and a bogie wheel (68) disposed rearward of the drive wheel. The bogie assembly includes a compliant and resilient arm (80) coupling the bogie wheel to the frame of the vehicle or bike.
