The present invention relates to towing apparatus (200) for towing a vehicle with a cable transport arrangement. The towing apparatus (200) comprises a first attachment arrangement (204) configured to provide for attachment to a towing part of the cable transport arrangement. The towing apparatus (200) comprises a second attachment arrangement (208) configured for releasable attachment to a vehicle. The second attachment arrangement (208) comprises a main body (210) and first and second arms (212,214). The first and second arms (212,214) are substantially immovably mounted on the main body (210) and spaced apart from each other with each of the first and second arms defining a vehicle engaging profile (222). The second attachment arrangement (208) is rotatable such that the first and second arms (212,214) move between: a first position in which the vehicle engaging profiles (222) can be brought into engagement with or disengaged from a part of the vehicle; and a second position in which the vehicle engaging profiles (222) engage with the part of the vehicle so as to provide for towing of the vehicle.

The present invention concerns a tow element (1) for coupling a tow lift to a bicycle. The tow element (1) comprises a tube (1c) and a tow loop (1a), extending from one end of the tube (1c) and configured to be hooked onto the stem (3a) of a bicycle. The tow element further comprises a connector (1d), extending from the opposite end of the tube (1c) and configured to connect the tow element (1) to the tow lift.

A portable line ascending device to enable users to ascend an incline on sliding or rolling sporting by travelling up an anchored line with the line ascending device. The device includes a mount, a plurality of sheaves connected to the mount, a motor driving the plurality of sheaves, and a power supply to supply electricity to the motor. The plurality of sheaves are configured to enable a line to be wound around at least a portion of each sheave of the plurality of sheaves and operable to engage the line to pull the line through the plurality of sheaves such that the line ascending device travels along the line.
