A two wheel steering bicycle with two steering controls and rider positioned
facing
forward. A top tube member connects the rear head tube to the front head tube.
The rear wheel attaches to the rear fork extending upwards. The rear fork steerer
column passes through the rear head tube and can rotate within the rear head tube
by means of a bicycle bearing headset. A rear steering handle is connected to the
rear fork steerer column. The rear steering handle is designed to contact the rider's
first hand. The front wheel attaches to the front fork extending upwards. The front
fork steerer column passes through the front head tube and can rotate within the
front head tube by means of a bicycle bearing headset. A front steering handle
is connected to the front fork steerer column. The front steering handle is designed
to contact the rider's second hand. A seat tube member attaches to the top tube
member. A bicycle saddle is attached to the seat tube member in such a way as to
position the rider facing forward parallel to the longitudinal axis of the top
tube member. A bicycle bottom bracket, front sprocket, left and right crank and
pedals are attached to the device. The rider's left hand is positioned at the rider's
left side and contacts one of the steering handles. The rider's right hand is positioned
at the rider's right side and contacts the other steering handle. The saddle and
steering handles should be adjusted so that the rider's body is roughly balanced
across the vertical plane of the rear and front wheels. The device moves forward
and the rider keeps the device balanced by constantly correcting the front and
rear steering handles. It may take some practice to make this correction reflex,
but once mastered this device offers more control and artistic expression than
a currently available bicycle.
