The device includes a universal swivel joint in which there is a spherical member secured to the lower end of the flag pole, and a hollow socket member forming a base on the fender, so that the flag pole can be swiveled into any desired angular position, to indicate the location and presence of the bicycle to warn motorists to keep their distance therefrom.
