  • Patent number: 6244612
    Abstract: The present invention reveals a device that enables an instructor to stabilize a moving single or double wheel cycle and rider as the instructor assists the new rider to safely develop the balancing and steering skills necessary to control the cycle independently. To accomplish its purpose, the device comprises: a pivotal connector mounted to the cycle; a handle that provides a gripping location for the instructor; and an extension which joins the connector to the handle. The pivotally mounted connector permits the handle to be swung laterally in an arc from a position of minimal control behind the rider, to an position of maximum control immediately adjacent to the rider. The amount of leverage and control the instructor desires to exert over the moving cycle and rider is determined by where in relation to the rider the instructor chooses to position the handle.
