Embodiments described herein provide container mounts for mounting water bottles, bento boxes, tool holders or other containers in an aerodynamic position. According to one embodiment, the container mount can include an attachment member to attach to the bicycle frame or aerobars. One or more container support members are coupled to the attachment member in a fixed orientation or in a manner that allows the position of the support member to be adjusted. The container mounts can be configured so that the container is positioned within the aerodynamic profile of the rider's torso between the rider's arms (when viewed from the front) and is accessible by the rider while the rider maintains aerodynamic form.

An insert storage device for storing items inside a generally cylindrical passage such as a handlebar or pole. The device has a first end, a second end, and an elongate portion joining the first and second ends. The elongate portion has a storage compartment configured to store a removable pipe. The first end creates an interference fit between the insert storage device and the generally cylindrical passage, and the second end has a separate storage compartment with a movable cap that provides access.

A device to fix a smaller object (a book, rolled up articles of clothing, a fabric bag, newspaper, lunch box or the like) to be transported securely on the handlebar and or the handlebar support of a vehicle, in particular a two-wheeled vehicle and more particularly a bicycle. The transport device has three fixing elements (3) which are fixedly attached to the handlebar (1) and/or the handlebar support (2). Each of the fixing elements (3) is provided with a retaining device (4) (ring, figure-of-eight ring, eye, tab or the like), through which a securing element (5) is movably fed. The fixing element (5) can be elastic (e.g. rubber or the like), or inelastic (e.g. cable, belt, tie-down strap, chain or the like). The fixing element (5) is fed twice through the retaining devices (4) such that an object can be fixed easily and then transported by being gripped between the at least two layers of the fixing element (5). The fixing element (5) can be fed through a cord stopper (6) and securely tied off with a knot or the like (7). The fixing element (4) can be tightened by the cord stopper (6), thus assisting, if necessary, in securing the object. The transport device has an extremely economical use of materials and is extremely low weight. The device does not significantly alter the appearance of the vehicle and can be fastened to the vehicle without drilling or adhesive bonding.

Various implementations include a spring biased mounting assembly. The mounting assembly includes a clamp plate with engagement arms extending therefrom and a base plate. The base plate is disposed between the clamp plate and distal ends of the engagement arms. The distal ends of the engagement arms are biased toward a first surface of the base plate. An object, such as a hand held electronic computing device, may be secured between the base plate and the distal ends of the engagement arms. The spring force may be provided by the clamp plate itself (e.g., a spring steel clamp plate) or by a separate spring (e.g., one or more helical springs, leaf springs, or a spring steel plate) disposed between the clamp plate and the base plate.

A detachable carrier assembly is provided. The detachable carrier assembly includes a bracket assembly configured for attachment to a head tube of a bicycle and a plurality of segments configured for insertion into the bracket assembly. The plurality of segments is further configured for detachment from the bracket assembly. A container is attached to the plurality of segments. The container is configured to hold a quantity of desired articles.

An intelligent exercise bike includes a frame, and a front wheel and a rear motor wheel, wherein the frame is provided with a pedal motor electrically connected with the pedal, and the output shaft of the pedal motor is drivingly connected with the pedal; the pedal motor has a torque sensor and a Hall sensor that are electrically connected thereto for detecting the speed and force of the pedal; a bike controller is provided in the frame, and the torque sensor and the Hall sensor convert the detected pedal speed and force into transmission signals, and output them to the bike controller; the bike controller is connected to a power supply circuit of the rear motor wheel, and the bike controller outputs a control signal to adjust the output power value of the rear motor wheel after receiving the transmission signals.

An apparatus (10) for covering a vehicle emplacement, in particular a bicycle, comprises: a pair of extendible uprights (20), each of which is connectable to a portion of a vehicle and is movable between a rest configuration and an operating configuration; at least one abutment element (30) solidly associated with a portion of an upright (20); a covering (40) that is configurable between a compact condition and a stretched condition. Furthermore, the covering (40) is slidably movable along a movement direction (M) that extends between an end (21) and the abutment element (30) of each upright (20) to come into contact with each abutment element (30) for pulling it in the movement direction (M) and extending each upright (20) to cover the vehicle emplacement.

The subject matter of the present patent application is also a method for the implementation of the aforesaid apparatus.
