Abstract
A bicycle trailer hitch is disclosed, for attaching a forward arm of a bicycle trailer to a rear frame of a bicycle. The bicycle trailer hitch comprises a base mounting plate having two discs provided with grooves to position respectively the chain stay and the seat stay of a bicycle rear frame. A side plate covers and squeezes the chain stay and the seat stay against the base mounting plate under the action of tightening means which comprise a releasable-adjustable fastener coupled between the base mounting plate and the side plate. The base mounting plate is provided with flexible connecting means to link the forward arm of the trailer. The bicycle trailer hitch is easy and quick to install and release, and allows a firm and secure attachment.
