Story Behind the Invention
Inventor Douglas Michael Gingras of Grand Blanc, MI has designed a devicethat allows a non-passenger bicycle to be towed behind a passenger bicycle.
Modern concernsover health and physical fitness have produced an abundance of people whoreligiously participate in a variety of exercise regimens in order to stay inshape. One of the most popular exerciseactivities involves the use of a bicycle. However, with the typical bicycle being a one rider machine, problemsand logistical difficulties quickly arise when using a bike to pick someone upor dropping someone off at a specific location. One can have someone transport two bicycles in a truck or other motorvehicle, but such a solution quickly defeats the purposes of exercise andenergy savings provided by a bicycle. Another option is for the rider to hold the bicycle along ones side,but such a solution greatly compromises their safety. InventorGingras has created a means by which arider-less bicycle can be easily transported by another bike rider.
This clever new invention does not hinder the balanceof the rider who is towing the non-passenger bicycle. It features a single connect and releaseretainer, which makes attaching the two bikes together very simple. Finally, it is adaptable to various sizedbicycles. The use of the Tow Hitch for Bicycle allows a bicycle rider to transport an additional bikein a manner that is not only quick, easy, and effective, but also safe.
