Abstract: A motorbike stabilizing device consisting of outriggers extending on both sides of the bike and connected pivotally and independently to the frame of the bike and designed to generate a controlling resistance force to the lean angle of the bike. A wheel is mounted near the tips of both structures which runs along the ground. An actuating lever located on the handlebars allows the rider to control the lean angle of the bike as it goes through a comer at various speeds and corner radii. The lever actuates electric valves, which control the bypass bleed from one end of two cylinders to the other. The cylinders are separately connected to both outrigger structures, keeping them firmly planted on the ground and allows the lean angle of the bike to be selected. A friction device may also be employed in place of the hydraulic cylinders and allows a reduction in size of the outriggers and a simplification in the outrigger's design.

Abstract: A motorbike stabilizing device consisting of outriggers extending on both sides of the bike and connected pivotally and independently to the frame of the bike. A wheel is mounted near the tips of both structures which runs along the ground. An actuating lever located on the handlebars allows the rider to control the lean angle of the bike as it goes through a corner at various speeds and corner radii. The lever actuates a pneumatic cylinder which is connected to both structures keeping them firmly planted on the ground and allows the lean angle of the bike to be selected.The invention assists the rider to overcome the natural fear of steep lean angles, the fear of quick or sudden turns and the fear of losing traction. The rider learns to lean his body with the bike in a turn, thus lowering the center of gravity of the bike/rider combination which creates the most stable conditions.

Abstract: A canting device adjusts the angle of a shoe and/or a pedal in an upward and inward direction to position a bicyclist's foot to maximize the muscle power to be applied by the foot. The device has a tapered thickness and in one instance, is inserted between the sole of the shoe and a cleat, the larger of the tapered thickness being positioned toward the inside of the foot.
