A single-piece side wheel attachment member for removably attaching an auxiliary
side wheel to a bicycle is provided. The attachment member has a single-piece molded
structure, including an upper vertical portion and a lower substantially horizontal
spindle portion connected through a C-shaped compliant structure for allowing the
spindle portion to move vertically when subjected to force. In its natural unbiased
condition, the vertical and horizontal portions of the member extend generally
perpendicular to one another. The upper vertical portion includes a projection
and at least one through-hole for insertion on the rear wheel axle of the bicycle.
The horizontal spindle portion is rotatably engaged by the auxiliary side wheel,
therefore acting as its axle. Both ends of the attachment member can angularly
move relative to one another due to the C-shaped compliant structure.
