Abstract
A support arm with a hinged clamp allowing it to be secured around a bicycle seat post such that a detached front wheel is carried on the bike on the seat post. The support arm has two fingers that attach to a bicycle's front wheel once it has been detached from the bicycle. The free end of the fingers are secured to the axle at the fitting where the fork had been attached. The quick-release fitting secures the fingers in place. The clamp has two c-channel clamping members that encircle the tubular seat post. The clamping members are secured together with a latching means.
