Abstract: A saddle riding type vehicle having a vehicular helmet holder with an improved anti-theft function making it less easy to tamper with the helmet holder held on the vehicle body. A saddle riding type vehicle includes a vehicle body frame and a riding seat disposed upwardly of the vehicle body frame. The riding seat is mounted so as to be removable relative to the vehicle body frame. The saddle riding type vehicle has a helmet holder. The helmet holder includes a hook section disposed at a substantially central position in a vehicle width direction on the vehicle body frame with the hook section being capable of holding a helmet. A lateral masking section is provided for covering at least vehicle lateral outer sides of the hook section and an upward masking section for covering the hook section at least from above.

Abstract: A device for attaching a bag to a luggage carrier of a bicycle includes a beam secured to the bag, two hooks installed on the beam to hook the luggage carrier and a restraining unit. The restraining unit includes a plate formed on the beam, a cover attached to the plate, at least one latch movably installed on the plate, at least one elastic element compressed between the cover and the latch so that an end of the latch is exposed from the plate for restraining the luggage carrier, a shackle movable on the plate between a first position for keeping the end of the latch exposed from the plate and a second position for allowing the retreat of the end of the latch into the plate and a elastic element compressed between the cover and the shackle for keeping the shackle in the first position.

Abstract: A bicycle bag having a coupling device arranged on a rear wall thereof for detachable coupling with a coupling section arranged on a bicycle. The elements of the coupling device are neither unsightly nor difficult to manipulate since the coupling device is designed with at least one window in a flat reinforcement plate which is built into the rear wall of the bicycle, is fitted on the outside with an external covering, and includes a cutout above the window, which can be closed by a cover and/or is fitted with an inner covering on the inner side of the reinforcement plate. Suspension elements are also included in the window to receive the coupling section.

Abstract: A load carrier for use on bicycles incorporating a load-suspending hook. The hook is affixed atop two support tubes that are mounted directly to the rear triangle of a standard bicycle frame. Four mounting sites near the rear wheel axle provide secure mounting. The hook is located on the central, sagittal plane of the bicycle approximately 50-60 centimeters directly above the rear wheel. A restraining strap, such as an elastic bungee-type cord, secures the suspended load against the support tubes to prevent swinging and maintain the central, sagittal position. The forces of the load, which can comprise any handled bag including backpacks, remain centered during riding and do not adversely affect balance of the bicycle.

Abstract: A bicycle rack connectable to the rear frame of a bicycle for carrying a folded beach chair. A generally rectangular rack frame is formed of elongated strut members and extends laterally and then upwardly from each lower corner thereof to define a folded upright beach chair support means. The rack frame is connected to either the rear of the bicycle frame and/or to one side edge of a rear carrying platform disposed generally horizontally above the rear wheel as an optional existing feature of the bicycle. An alternate embodiment provides two rack frame members which extend downwardly along either side of the rear wheel and frame from an included rear carrying platform in saddle fashion where an existing rear carrying platform is not available.

Abstract: A supporting bracket includes a bracket body which defines a tube receiving portion and lock receiving portion. The tube receiving portion includes a split socket having a bush therein. The socket further includes a split threaded extension which receives a locking knob to tighten the split socket. An adaptor and a biasing block is further received by the locking block. When the locking knob is screwed in, the adaptor and biasing block are moved in to press against the bush. Accordingly, the supporting bracket can be firmly attached to the tube with different diameter of the bicycle. The lock can be readily held by the lock receiving portion when the lock is not in use.

Abstract: A surfboard rack, for allowing a surfboard to be carried with a bicycle, having a pair of hooks for engaging the frame of the bicycle near the front and rear, and an adjustable bar extending between the hooks. A pair of cradle assemblies are attached to the adjustable bar near the hooks. A pair of braces extend downward from the cradle assemblies to provide support against the bicycle frame. The adjustable bar may be varied in length to alter the distance between the front and rear hooks. Matched holes extend through the adjustable bar, which allow the distance between the hooks to be fixed and the adjustable bar locked, so that the surfboard rack can also function as a bicycle anti-theft device.

Abstract: A frame mounted holder for releasably securing a bicycle lock or other accessory to the frame of a bicycle has a pair of spaced apart, oppositely facing hook members for engaging the lock or other accessory, which hook members are biased away from one another to hold the lock or accessory at a pair of spaced apart points.
