Abstract: A device is provided which is readily mountable to the rear axle and frame of a bicycle and provides a graspable distal end to be held by a person walking or running alongside or just behind a bicycle on which another person is learning how to ride. The device includes three substantially tubular elements connected to each other by a single bolt, washer and nut assembly, and the entire device is mounted in a three-point manner to the bicycle thereby ensuring a strong rigid connection thereto. In one aspect of the invention, the person helping stabilize the rider grasps a suitably textured grip aligned with the plane of the bicycle frame. In another aspect of the invention, one particularly suitable for use by children or when the person learning to ride the bicycle is rather heavy, a pair of grips are mounted transversely of the plane of the bicycle to facilitate a two-handed grasping of the device by the helper.
