A mounting hardware and theft deterrent device includes a hand knob; a threaded screw coupled to the hand knob; a U-clip configured to replace a stock retaining clip on a motorcycle frame and for placement on the motorcycle frame to receive the threaded screw coupled to the hand knob and thereby to secure a motorcycle saddlebag to the motorcycle; and a lock washer for placement over the threaded screw coupled to the hand knob before the threaded screw is inserted into the U-clip. The hand knob, threaded screw fixedly coupled to an underside surface of the hand knob, U-clip, and lock washer collectively form the theft deterrent device. The theft deterrent device is configured for utilization to secure a motorcycle saddlebag to a motorcycle frame without a need for any additional installation tools. The theft deterrent device includes a retaining clip to hold the hand knob to the motorcycle saddlebag.

A bicycle bag includes a bag body and at least one adjusting belt assembly. The bag body is adapted to store bicycle accessories and includes a first penetration portion and a second penetration portion. The at least one adjusting belt assembly is selectively inserted through one of the first and second penetration portions to form a suspending portion attachable to a bicycle. Thus, the bicycle bag can be attached to an up tube or a seat post of a bicycle, or attached between the saddle and the seat post of a bicycle to meet user needs.

A bicycle beverage cup holder and method features spaced flexible concave arms each having a distal end. There is a gap between the distal ends of the arms. A bracket secures the spaced concave arms to a bicycle handlebar. A stretchable band is operatively disposed across the gap to accommodate different size beverage cups and to secure them in place.

This invention relates generally to the field of sporting and leisure activities such as hunting, cycling, and photography. A connector (10) for detachably connecting an object (12) to an article of equipment (14), the connector comprising a base (16) fittable on or to the article of equipment, or integral with the article of equipment, the base including one of a recess and an elongate projection, and the object including the other of a recess and an elongate projection, the connector further including slidable locking means (28) which slides transversely to and engages with the projection when the projection is inserted in the recess, to securely retain the projection within the recess until the slidable locking means is operated by a user to permit removal of the projection from the recess. One of the recess and projection may include cooperating magnetic means which encourages engagement of the projection within the recess.

A mount for an auxiliary handlebar, the mount comprising: a stem; a fastener configured to receive the auxiliary handlebar; a clamp configured to secure the mount to a primary handlebar; and a clamp lock comprising: a linkage rotatably connected to the stem; and a cam lever rotatably connected to the linkage; wherein the clamp lock is configured to selectively lock the clamp.

A sporting equipment carrier for mounting onto a bicycle, the carrier being able to be customized as needed to a variety of different sporting equipment despite the wildly disparate sizes and shapes of different types of equipment for different sports. A core support which attaches to the seat post of the bicycle by means of a clamp, and has members so it projects backward away from the seat over the rear wheel of the bicycle. One or more mating arms and diverse attachment points allow the connection of equipment holders on one or more sides of the rear wheel. The holders are for different types of sporting equipment: skis, snow boards, surf boards, skates, skate boards, baskets for smaller items having apertures through the sides for long smaller items, etc. The equipment holders may be easily removed and replaced with another holder.

A bicycle accessory mounting bracket includes a first member, a second member and a plug member. The first member has a first connecting pillar with a first sliding slot. The second member has a second connecting pillar. The plug member is inserted into the first and second connecting pillars inserted into each other through the first sliding slot and the through hole of the second connecting pillar. The plug member includes a shell, an actuating member and two abutting members. The actuating member has a wide portion and a concave portion. In the first position, the wide portion is located between the penetration holes, and the abutting members are pushed by the wide portion to enter the perforation holes. When in the second position, the concave portion is located between the penetration holes, the abutting members enter the concave portion, and the first and second connecting pillars can rotate relatively.

A tracking element protection device includes a first part, two clamp members and a second part. The first part includes a first recess, and the second part includes a second recess. A tracking element is received in the first recess. The first and second parts are connected to each other by two fasteners. The two clamp members are located between the first and second parts so as to clamp the protection device to a bicycle frame between the two clamp members. Each fastener includes a head and a threaded shank which extends through the second part and is threadedly connected a threaded hole in the first part. The head of each fastener includes three first positioning portions. A key is mounted to the head and includes three second positioning portions which are engaged with the first positioning portions to unscrew the fastener to separate the first and second parts.

A drinking bottle cage includes a fastening member for fastening to a bicycle frame. The fastening member has connected therewith, in particular integrally formed with, a bottom holding member and a fixing member. The bottom holding member includes a projection in particular configured as a pin, said projection engaging with a recess provided at the bottom of the drinking bottle when the drinking bottle is fixed.
