Abstract
A molded unit is installable upon a bicycle between the existing seat and the handlebars and provides a passenger with a safe and convenient position to ride on the bicycle. The placement of the unit on the bicycle is adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of different passengers. Spacer members, either formed on the unit or provided separately, provide for a proper spacing of the device when installed on standard bicycles. A seat portion provides a contoured seat for the passenger while opposing foot pegs provide for a safe placement of the feet of the passenger. The foot pegs have end stops and a ribbed surface to prevent the feet of the passenger from inadvertently slipping off of the foot pegs. A long securing bolt extends entirely through the foot pegs to reinforce and otherwise strengthen the foot pegs.
