Abstract

A toy cycle includes a frame supporting a seat and a front fork assembly. The front fork assembly is pivotally secured to the frame and is movable between a first position and an alternate raised position. The front and rear wheels are removable and the front fork assembly is pivoted upwardly to a missile launch configuration. The cycle includes a removable handlebar assembly which is separated from the front fork assembly and fitted within an aperture formed at the lower end of the cycle frame. With the wheels removed and the handlebar assembly repositioned, and with the front fork assembly raised to the missile launch configuration, a pair of simulated rockets are assembled upon the front fork assembly and are able to be launched by a spring launch mechanism within the front fork assembly.
