Abstract

An umbrella support attachment for a bicycle is provided which comprises a distal portion support member including a fastening portion to be attached to a seat stay of the bicycle and a support portion for supporting a distal portion of the umbrella, and a proximal portion support member including a fastening portion to be attached to a frame bar of the bicycle and a clipping portion for supporting a proximal portion of the umbrella. The umbrella support attachment is effective to carry an elongate object such as an umbrella on a bicycle without interfering with the operation of the bicycle and smooth movement of movable components of the bicycle.
