A pair of angled brace members are each attached at one end to the support frame and extend forwardly and upwardly for attachment to the bicycle frame. A rear member is attached at one end to the support frame. An elongated platform is rigidly attached to the rearward end of the rear member such that the platform extends transversely of the longitudinal axis of the bicycle frame. A wheel assembly is attached to the platform. The wheel assembly is out of engagement with a surface upon which the bicycle is located when the front and rear wheels are in contact with the surface.
