Abstract

This disclosure depicts a novel sidecar for use with a bicycle. The sidecar comprises a sidecar frame having at least three attachment ends, a sidecar wheel and axle attached to one of the attachment ends of the sidecar frame, a holding means attached to the sidecar frame, and first and second securing means for attaching the sidecar frame to the bicycle. The first and second securing means are in alignment with each other such that the sidecar wheel remains in contact with the ground when the bicycle is tilted from side to side.
