Abstract: An improved cleat design is provided for article of footwear. At least one cleat is arranged on a bottom surface of the outsole, such that the cleat is disposed partially within the outsole and extends substantially perpendicular from the bottom surface of the outsole. The cleat includes an aperture such that a portion of the outsole extends through the aperture in a direction substantially parallel to the bottom surface of the outsole to retain the at least one cleat in a desired position relative to the outsole.

Abstract: A quick-release joint for two tubes which includes a first connector having a first inner lip formed on an inner surface of the first connector, a second connector pivotally connected to the first connector and axially offset from the first connector. The second connector has a protrusion formed on an inner surface of the second connector and has an outer groove formed on the protrusion next to a top face of the second connector to correspond to the first flange. A retainer is formed on a side of the first connector and the second connector to move the first connector to axially align with the second connector such that after the first inner lip is received in the outer groove of the protrusion, the first connector and second connector are solidly and rigidly coupled.

Abstract: A telescoping bicycle handlebar assembly is disclosed wherein a crossbar adapted to provide support for a rider's hands during a bicycle ride is attached to a downbar extending substantially perpendicularly therefrom. A hollow tube adjacent to the front wheel of the bicycle and displaced from the bicycle's centerline is adapted to receive various lengths of the downbar depending on the height at which the handlebars are to be placed. A securing device is attached to the hollow tube and adapted to selectively secure the downbar in place inside the tube.

Abstract: A unidirectional rotating assembly, a bicycle powering mechanism, and a bicycle using the same are disclosed. The unidirectional rotating assembly allows a chainring to rotate while the crank and axle remains still. The bicycling powering mechanism combines the unidirectional rotating assembly with a powering device. The powering device is coupled to the unidirectional rotating assembly through a drive ring. This allows the powering device to drive the unidirectional assembly, thereby driving the chainring. When the bicycling power mechanism is part of a bike, the chainring is connected to the rear wheel of the bike through a chain and rear sprockets. Because of this, the bicycling powering mechanism can propel the bike while the cranks are stationary. Additionally, a person using a bike having this configuration is still able to shift gears. Thus, the bicycling power mechanism need not be designed with gearing.
